Chapter 999: The prince is the general
After Lu Yue followed Yang Zhi to sweep away the Sykpchak Khanate, his eyes stayed on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea and the Caucasus, and if it was possible, he really wanted to make the feudal state here, rather than facing the northeastern shore of the Black Sea of the Rus' further west.
Or the northeastern shore of the Black Sea, or even the northern shore of the Black Sea, the Crimean peninsula is a rare treasure. However, the place was in the hands of the Byzantines, and there was a very small presence of the Bolgar Khanate on the coast of the Sea of Azov.
They are fellow brothers of the Bulgarians!
It's just that because of the limitations of the difference in thinking and cognition, including Lu Yue, all the vassal monarchs definitely did not lead an expedition to plunder the enemy's funds and make up for my shortcomings at the first time when they determined their territory. It is to consolidate the self-foundation and do a good job in internal management first.
This is the inertia of Chinese civilization - steady and steady. And not, as in the case of Alexander I, as if the whole person lived for conquest.
Chinese are very good at farming, and they are also good at farming, and the problem of laying a solid foundation is the first choice for many Chinese. seems to be a 'hero' like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and only these two have 'succeeded' for thousands of years. So don't blame Lu Yue for being 'inflexible'.
Lu Yue, who was born and grew up in Sri Lanka, was not prepared to build his country into a grassland empire that 'rises and falls' at the beginning of the war.
Suddenly hearing such news under such circumstances, Lu Yue was only full of happiness in his heart after the disbelief at the beginning dissipated!
This is Daddy giving himself benefits.
But, "When did the old man also get Alexander?" ”
In Lu Yue's twenty-year career, Alexander has always been the negative teaching material that Emperor Lu taught them.
Lu Qian doesn't look down on Alexander, it should be said that the concept is really different, right?
The latter's achievements in the past ten years are admirable, after all, under the limitations of the times at that time, the person who can step beyond the boundary of 'self-knowledge' - expansion is also a positive spirit, and can be said to be a real hero.
But a man who is not a tyrant is also a madman who cannot suppress his emotions; An ambitious king, but who has succumbed to his mother's shadow all his life; He was a valiant man on the battlefield and killed countless enemies, but he was more merciful and weak than any monarch in his treatment of his friends and subordinates. Such Alexander, Emperor Lu really can't understand it!
Look at the results of his death, and the generals he trusted established a nation in the lands he conquered. They took all of Alexander's inheritance, and then his son died a tragic death when his value was exhausted.
So, it would be irresponsible to simply think that Alexander was just a military genius and that the administration was spicy, but it was also really targeted.
At least in terms of inheritance, Lu Qian disagreed with Alexander.
Every Chinese attaches great importance to their ancestral industry, such as the emperor attaches importance to his own rivers and mountains, and the people attach importance to their ancestral homes and fields.
But looking at Alexander's behavior, he didn't care about the inheritance of his family......
A negative example must be a negative example.
In the education that Lu Yue received over the years, the Alexandrian mode of conquest was undesirable!
In the Lu Qi Dynasty, all the external 'conquests' are really only divided into two types: Sinicization and Tianzhu.
The latter does not need to be mentioned, the former is to turn raze into summer. Such as the South Seas, such as Goryeo, the Northeast, such as the Saibei, the Western Regions. And the princes' feudal states are also among them.
Since you want to be sinicized and really take root, how can Lu Yue expect to be "wide and wide, let me gallop"?
Lu Qi had swept away the entire Northern Tianzhu in a very short period of time, and this was because they had compromised with the Northern Tianzhu ruling class itself.
Although the war destroyed a number of ruling classes, Lu Qi turned around and incorporated the remaining classes into his own system, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty quickly reached a cooperation agreement with the bureaucratic landlord class in the Central Plains after entering the customs.
But not so in the West. Lu Qi's sinicization mode doomed them to be unable to quickly occupy a large area of land as they did in Beitianzhu for a period of time. Because it is impossible for Lu Yue and these people to ideologically compromise with the local natives.
In a sense, Lu Qi's "colonization" method will be more "reassuring" to his neighbors, because it means that they will not be able to quickly swallow their neighbors' 'flesh' in a short period of time. There are too many indigenous people in the land, and it is a serious hindrance to their footsteps.
Lu Yue and his 'ministers' had already accepted this rule. But I never thought that when people sit at home, blessings come from heaven. The old man also went crazy.
What is 'happiness'? That's happiness!
With the army sent by the Central Plains, not to mention more, even if there are only one or two hundred thousand people, it is enough.
If the princes of Rus' are unified and integrated, even the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, the Duchy of Galich, the Grand Duchy of Smolensk, the Grand Duchy of Galicia, the Duchy of Chernihiv, etc., will be united, and their strength will not be weak. 100,000 people can also get it!
If they were well prepared, they could even ask the Poles and Hungarians for reinforcements.
Then if you want to seize the whole Rus', there will be battles.
But now the Rus' are divided, and even the powerful Grand Duchy of Vladimir is only a representative of the Rus' people, a part of it.
The title of Grand Duke of Rus' was also more of an honorary title than an actual power. Compared to the emperor of the HRE, it is far inferior. Anyone who has ambitions for the position of Grand Duke of Rus can go and challenge him with allies.
The Grand Duke, with Kiev as the core, will not be dazzling in its overall strength. For the 'Grand Duke', there is only the icing on the cake, not the charcoal in the snow. Vyacheslav Vladimirovich, who was ousted from power just a few years ago, is a prime example.
"Quickly go to Yang Hou to inquire and ask who is the commander in the court. Then gather the soldiers and horses and contact the river! ”
Lu Yue's talents are not fake, and they quickly summed up the main points.
This news came from Jinling to the Black Sea, and I don't know how much time has passed, but I can't guarantee that everything has been decided in Jinling now. In other words, when they received this news, Yang Zhi had already received the news.
As for whether the commander of the army of the western expedition to Rus would be Yang Zhi, Lu Yue and they couldn't be sure, but the blue-faced beast definitely knew about it.
This is indeed the case, as the "Lord of the Kipchak Grassland", how could Yang Zhi be ignorant of Jinling's determination.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." The blue-faced beast shook its head as it looked at the paperwork in its hand. Emperor Lu's capital!
"Uncle, don't worry. Although His Majesty takes several princes as generals, but those lords have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but they cannot be underestimated. With those people in charge, can they really capsize the boat? ”
Yang Zaixing didn't expect that he was transferred to Yang Zhi by a document, but the result was to give a hand to the princes.
And not only himself, but also Shi Jin, Li Yanxian, Niu Gao, and Li Shifu.
Wrap Shi Wengong, who is still far away in the Central Plains!
The latter is a crushing formation, and he is still on his way to the battlefield with 10,000 cavalry......
