Chapter 567: The Emperor and the Mutual Divergence, the Wealth and the Instrument Release the Force
Although Li Kun is the emperor, he has never tried some things, but he just reads the war report every day, and there are many ministers, generals and professors, and they also know some military techniques, so he may not be able to command, but as long as he is awakened, he can see the mystery behind it.
What Qiu Yan wrote was exactly like this, which made Li Kun realize the risk of going north to attack the enemy, but as the Son of Heaven, he inevitably felt aggrieved, and this mood immediately reflected the dragon's qi.
Longpan Imperial City, the dragon's head hangs in the palace.
Now, the dragon qi in the dragon head changes, and the shadow of the sword soldier is presented, as if it is poised to take shape, as if to lead the dragon qi to change, and impact to the lower part of the dragon, but the way of the soldier still has limitations, which can make the dragon qi change, but it is not enough to separate the tributaries, and there are still some things missing.
The dragon qi hung down in wisps, blended into the will of Xingjing, and made contact with Qiu Yan's will, building a battlefield in his heart, and linking with the thoughts of the generals.
Feeling these changes, after discussing the military strategy of Northern Xinjiang, Qiu Yan did not stop writing, and continued to write-
For the sake of today's affairs, the front of the army should not be lightly raised, because of the lack of money and weapons.
As soon as these words were written, Li Kun's heart immediately moved, his brows furrowed, and he thought of the other party's argument when discussing the military system with Wang Fu.
Wang Fu changed the law, people said that the monarch and the minister were single-minded, in fact, the two also had differences, in Li Kun's view, Da Rui and the northern Hu people had several confrontations, and they were all at a disadvantage, which was caused by weakness, and it was in his heart that the top priority was to strengthen the army.
This is also determined by his location, as the emperor, representing the entire Da Rui, but from the beginning of the succession, there were often wars on the frontier. There were also rebellions in the country, except for the southwestern border troubles, several other places continued for several years, and the losses of troops could not be quelled, and sometimes they had to compromise, either to appease and appease, or to cede some land out of Lu.
These lands were carefully selected, and they were unusable and unfavorable for cultivation, but in the eyes of the emperor, there was a sense of shame. I was sad and angry in my heart. Only then did he urgently want to change the law, and after the army was strengthened, he would wash away the shame and restore the old land of the previous dynasty. Recreate the situation of the Celestial Empire and all the nations coming to court.
Compare it to. Wang Fu's views are different. The person at the helm of the new law believes that "the great policy of the country lies in the peasants and soldiers, and the agricultural affairs are urgent." not after the war".
Furthermore, the Department of Development has a viewpoint that finance is the foundation of everything, and if the financial situation of the dynasty can be changed, then the problem of military generals can naturally be improved.
In his view, the main problem of Da Rui is not weakness, but poverty, the latter is the cause, and the former is the effect.
Wang Fu once said, "The former generation of Xingwang knew that if he did not abolish farming, he would be able to merge the world." This is the step he took to implement the new law, which was to first focus on developing the social productive forces, improving the economy, and increasing social wealth.
This process is undoubtedly a long process, and it is not consistent with Li Kun's purpose of urgently changing the weak situation, but in today's world, the only person who has the ambition to change the law and is enough to sit in the center and is not afraid of other important ministers is Wang Fu.
Li Kun didn't have a choice, so he followed Wang Fu's temperament and changed the law step by step, but after all, he had to exert influence, so when the new laws such as the City Change Law had not yet been officially implemented, he began to consider the reform of the military system, and also urged Wang Fu to implement it as soon as possible, alongside other new laws.
It's just that the emperor's idea will inevitably be resisted, and both the new and old parties know that the soldiers must not be moved lightly, otherwise it will be a situation of great chaos in the world, so there are not many people who should make peace, and no one has handed over a feasible plan.
If it weren't for the new party and a few new people who wanted to take the opportunity of the reform of the military system to put their hands into the army, Li Kun's idea would not have been taken out at all, let alone put on the palace examination and become an examination topic.
The emperor seems to be noble, and one word can determine life and death, but in the final analysis, the power of this position comes from the people under his rule, and once the Manchu bureaucrats unite, the emperor will also be hollowed out.
The emperor came into contact with officials, and it was the officials and officials who really governed the world.
No matter how respectful the minister is to the emperor in person, once interests are involved, there will inevitably be an argument, and sometimes, there are courtiers arguing in front of the emperor.
In this situation, Li Kun threw out this topic in the palace examination, on the one hand, to find a breakthrough from the opposition of the DPRK and China, and on the other hand, to take advantage of the situation to gather the people's wishes and hopes and accumulate the general momentum.
Of course, in this, Li Kun also has a little expectation, hoping to find one or two insights among the candidates.
When he saw Qiu Yan's prediction and analysis of the war in Northern Xinjiang, Li Kun was only surprised, but when the dialect and military system were written, it was obviously similar to Wang Fu, which really made Li Kun feel good.
The emperor's complexion changed, and he couldn't escape the attention of others, and several governors gave enough etiquette, so they also came, and when they got behind Li Kun, they all looked at the past, and when they saw what was said on the paper, their expressions were different.
This Qiu Yan actually opposed the sending of troops to the north and took the initiative to fight a decisive battle? This decision seems to be the same meaning of the Privy Council. Zhang Lian was stunned for a moment, his eyes swept over Ma Yang and Wang Fu's faces silently, guessing whether the two had pointed out in advance, but when he noticed the shocked faces of the two, he was stunned again.
Xu Jin had already supervised the war of one side, and knew a lot about the affairs of the soldiers, but after reading what Qiu Yan said, he thought about it carefully, and felt that it was reasonable, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Then, when several people saw Qiu Yan's sentence "wealth and tools", their faces changed, especially Wang Fu, whose heartstrings moved, and concentrated their minds to see.
Next, Qiu Yan talked about the new law without scruples, saying that if it is simply to enhance military strength, then the development of the new law is likely to gradually be abolished, from financial management to wealth accumulation, and eventually to strengthen the army.
"Oh?"
Li Kun was present, and he was located in the examination room, although there was a disagreement between several rulers, it was not enough to break out, but from Zhang Lian's eyes, he could still see a trace of coldness, he sighed lightly, and then glanced at Wang Fu, showing a mocking look.
In fact, not long after the reform began, Zhang Lian said that Wang Fu sold his reputation and reputation, and the so-called reform of the law seemed to be for the people and the country, but in fact, benefiting the people was only incidental, and the original intention was to fill the treasury, which was tantamount to competing with the people for profit, but it was just to force interest groups, give up part of the benefits to the people, and let the people temporarily get benefits, so as to increase the people's will and support the reform of the law.
Therefore, his glance was to laugh at Wang Fu, implying that Qiu Yan had already seen this.
Wang Fu did not respond to Zhang Lian's ridicule, he frowned and looked at the exam papers, thinking about what the "instrument" in the sentence "wealth and instruments" represented.
"Could it be that you mean blades and weapons?" The same question also appeared in Ma Yang and Xu Jin's hearts.
As for Li Kun, his brows were furrowed, and the contradiction in his eyes became more and more intense, both for Qiu Yan and for military politics, this reform of the military system was promoted by him, the emperor, behind his back, but after reading Qiu Yan's article, he magnified the worries in his heart, so he was wondering if there would be a turnaround from that "instrument".
Next, Qiu Yan didn't let a few people wait, he walked the dragon and snake, and one word after another quickly took shape, forming sentences-
"Only those who have wealth can raise weapons, which can be divided into the weapons of the people's hearts and the weapons of the military array. ”
After a sentence, hundreds of words were sprinkled in one go, expounding the thoughts in his heart.
It turns out that the instrument of people's hearts is to establish a concept in the hearts of the people of the world, and the specific method is not to use policies and laws to forcibly promote, but through recruitment, logistics and many other aspects, as well as advocating some seemingly simple slogans among the people, so as to achieve the goal.
In this, there is even mention of military training and military discipline, but there is no mention of specific tactics of war.
Then, the weapon of the military array was easy to understand, referring to the sharp weapon of the battlefield, Qiu Yan also mentioned a few fresh ideas, as well as many new ideas, which made Li Kun and Xu Jin deeply inspired after reading it.
Li Kun originally had a few vague concepts, but after listening to them, he became clear, and his mood was somewhat soothed: "This Qiu Yan is not a retreat person, his article has the shadow of a battlefield general, and he is a rare handsome talent, but he has cultivated supernatural powers, and there are hidden dangers, which cannot be easily let go, but with such talents, and the examination papers, he can't be treated too lightly, well, give him a better ranking, and then observe for a while......"
Thinking about it, he realized that he had understood what Qiu Yan said, and he was about to take a step and leave this table.
However, after leaving, he glanced at the exam paper again, but what caught his eye was a sentence written by Qiu Yangang -
"Wealth and tools can release the power of Da Rui. ”
"Huh?" After reading this sentence, Li Kun's heart jumped suddenly, and he stopped at that step, and couldn't help but look at it!
Qiu Yan's words and deeds are like the wind, obviously written in his chest for a long time, without the slightest hesitation, and the closing sentences fell on the paper one after another-
"The Central Plains is vast and rich, the dynasty has been inherited for thousands of years, and Da Rui inherited the country and established the country, dozens of years of national peace and security, Wuhua Tianbao, outstanding people, on the other hand, the land of the Quartet, every more barren, the other country gets wealth in a year, not as much as Da Rui's finances, this world everyone knows, why in the face of the four Yi, the Celestial Empire is often weak?
"Running through the top and bottom, condensing the whole country? Does it mean raising the soldiers of the country?" Li Kun's breathing suddenly became short, and the deepest question in his heart flooded into his heart.
"Yes, my Darui national strength far exceeds that of other countries, and there are many generals, why do I still have defeats from time to time when I am at war with others, and in recent years, I have lost troops and lost generals, and the country has declined?"
At the same time, at the moment when Qiu Yan wrote these sentences on the paper, his mind was in a trance, and his thoughts rolled out, merging into the will of Xingjing.
Immediately after, around the soldier's scene, a strange figure quickly manifested, intertwined and arranged, as if to form some kind of pattern.
As the pattern became clearer and clearer, this scene in the dragon qi was shattered, a famous soldier was separated from the armor and blade, and the soldier did not move, and the armor and blade changed, becoming more and more tenacious and sharp, and various logistical methods were revealed, joining the army and evolving the military situation. (To be continued......)
