This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 791 Volume Li Er’s Reflection

A weak country is the original sin.

This is an eternal truth.

Is Lan Ganxu willing to massacre the Natai Mansion?
No, that was definitely not his intention. As the Prime Minister of Siam, Lan Ganxu was determined to want Siam to get on the right track.

But many times, he has no choice.

Just like before, those people who were unwilling to migrate became the souls under his sword.

As for whether Lan Ganxu expected that some people would be unable to leave their homeland when he ordered all the people to migrate, only Lan Ganxu himself may know this.

In other words, whether all of this was a premeditated plan or a sudden inspiration, only Lan Ganxu himself probably knows.

On the other side, Sun Simiao finally came up with a plan after careful consideration.

"What do you mean, Daozhang Sun, we still need to use manpower to clean it up?" Su Dingfang asked.

Sun Simiao nodded and said, "If you are in a hurry, manpower is the fastest."

As he spoke, Sun Simiao pointed to the temporary wooden house and said, "To deal with so many rotting corpses, we actually have no better way.

If it is manpower, the first thing to do is disinfection.

But this is not difficult for us.

Whether it's alcohol or lime, it can play a certain role.

This is also the reason why I want to build this wooden house.

At that time, let the soldiers come here to disinfect afterward. As long as the disinfection is thorough, there should be no big problem. "

Sun Simiao had no choice.

At this juncture, this is the only feasible method they can think of.

When Su Dingfang heard this, he said, "That's it."

"General Su can also send scouts to find other ways. There may be other options." Sun Simiao thought for a moment and then said.

"It's natural." Su Dingfang was not polite and smiled after hearing this, "It's just that since Siam has used dead bodies to block the road, I guess even if we find other roads, there will be other troubles waiting. Follow us."

"The old Taoist has lived for decades, and he really dare not speak lightly about the sinister nature of the human heart." Sun Simiao said with emotion on his face, "If General Su has intentions, he must not hurt the people. How can the people deserve it?"

Sun Simiao indeed had a heart to help the world and bring peace to the people. If he had been a little dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty sending troops south to Siam in the past, but under the current situation, he could be said to be extremely disappointed with the Siamese court.

Although he was not a politician, just by looking at the scene, he knew very clearly that those who could do such a thing must be an organized army.

Nowadays, in the territory of Siam, in addition to the Siamese court, the organized army is the army of the Tang Dynasty.

Who did it is already obvious.

Sun Simiao had almost no doubts and concluded that the Siamese army was responsible.

After all, in this current situation, only Datang's army is really causing trouble.

So there’s no need to think too much about it…

"That's natural. The Siamese court acted against the will, and that's why I, the Tang Dynasty, sent troops south to liberate Siam." Su Dingfang, who had many thieves, also laughed at the moment, "Don't worry, Taoist Sun, this time I go south, I will definitely Can we bring peace to the people of Siam!"

……

In the rear, when Li Er received the news, he sneered: "I didn't realize that there is such a person in Siam?"

He didn't think what Lan Ganxu did was important. Politics was like this. Sometimes when sacrifice was necessary, it would be natural to sacrifice those who were not important to the overall situation.

To put it bluntly, ordinary people are often placed in the first echelon of victims.

"Your Majesty, this Lan Ganxu must be killed!" Ma Zhou, who was accompanying the army on the expedition, immediately said after hearing this, "Sacrificing innocent people for the sake of victory is not what a gentleman would do!"

Ma Zhou was born into poverty and was most puzzled and angry about Lan Ganxu's actions.

So when I heard what Li Er said, I immediately stood up.

"This tease really deserves to be killed!" Changsun Wuji immediately said firmly after hearing this.

For Changsun Wuji, people like Lan Ganxu are more ruthless than him. If this person is not killed, if he is allowed to sneak into the Tang Dynasty in the future, he will definitely be his most difficult political opponent due to his ruthlessness. .

If such a person can be dealt with as soon as possible, he is determined not to delay it.

"Slaughter the people, no matter where they are placed, they should be killed!" More people stood up at that moment.

As far as the big guys are concerned, no matter what Lan Ganxu's purpose is, if he kills people to gain short-term benefits, he cannot stay.

"The day the city is destroyed will be the day when this tease will die." Seeing everyone saying this, Li Er also laughed at the moment.

To him, he didn't actually care whether Lan Ganxu died or not.

Even if Lan Ganxu does have some talent, it doesn't mean he needs it.

After all, there are so many talented people in the Tang Dynasty that there is really no shortage of one.

Moreover, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, his attitude did not allow his officials to massacre people.

"But is it possible that this massacre of people is really just to delay my army's march south? Or is Siam confident that it can deal with Duke E and others while delaying us?"

Changsun Wuji asked with some confusion.

In fact, he couldn't understand Lan Ganxu's purpose of doing this.

Of course, he didn't want Yuchi Jingde and others to suffer any major losses at this juncture. This was actually not a good thing for him.

"This possibility is not impossible." Someone heard the words and said, "I heard that the most famous one is the elephant soldier, but in Natai Mansion, we have not seen the rumored elephant soldier yet.

Do you think Siam sent elephant soldiers to deal with Duke E and others?

If this is the case, E Guogong and others may not be safe at this moment. "

Li Er nodded when he heard this: "Siam's elephant soldiers do have some skills, but that does not mean that these elephant soldiers can be invincible. If the elephant soldiers were so strong, the border would have been unrest for a long time.

As for E Guo Gong and others, although they only brought their own generals and soldiers with them when they went south this time, their overall rations were far beyond those of ordinary armies.

In addition to food, in terms of ordnance alone, even the most elite resentful army of the Ming Dynasty can fight a battle.

Even if the elephant soldiers are difficult to deal with, they may not be impossible to deal with. "

At this point, Li Er is still very confident.

Although the Ming Dynasty was famous for its ordnance, the Tang Dynasty also invested a lot in the development of ordnance in recent years.

"But what if the entire Siamese army goes to surround E Guogong and others?" Changsun Wuji said with some worry, "As of now, Siam has not invested heavy troops in Natai Mansion.

So where will Siam's heavy troops be? "

In fact, there was no need for him to continue, everyone almost had their own guesses.

Where else could he be if not in Natai Mansion? At this time, he must be encircling and suppressing the Duke of E. "What is the purpose of encircling and suppressing the Duke of E and the others?" Someone asked, "If it is just to massacre the Duke of E and the others, do we need so many troops?"

"Why must they be slaughtered?" Li Er shook his head when he heard this and said, "The living Duke E and others are valuable, aren't they?
It would be most meaningful to Siam if we could capture Duke E and others alive. "

Li Er can actually understand Siam's approach. If it were him, he would do the same.

For a country, sustainability is the most important thing.

When you can't win, you should bow your head when you should. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Just like at the beginning, when Li Er had just ascended the throne and the Turks moved south, Li Er also concluded an alliance with the Turkic Khan before the Wei River.

"In that case, the situation of Duke E and his men wouldn't be too bad now?" Ma Zhou said immediately after hearing this, "This actually buys Duke E and his men some time?"

"Indeed, if Siam really wants to massacre Duke E and others, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely massacre the entire Siam. This is probably not what Siam wants to see." After hearing this, Changsun Wuji nodded and said , "But even so, E Guogong and others can't last long without supplies of food and grass.

In the past, they could prey on the enemy, but under the current situation, Siam would not give them the opportunity to prey on the enemy. "

Whether it is Siam or the Tang Dynasty, they are actually competing for time now.

Otherwise, Lan Ganxu would not have been able to issue such a cruel order.

Su Dingfang would not race against time to go south.

Time is fair to everyone.

"Your Majesty, is there any news about Baiqisi in Siam? Now that the war is going on, most news from the front line has been blocked by Siam."

Li Er was slightly dissatisfied when he heard this, Bai Qisi, who can ask about that?
However, he did not lose his temper at this moment, and chuckled: "Baiqisi had news before." As he said, Li Er waved his hand, and a chamberlain gave everyone a secret memorandum.

Everyone just glanced at it and showed a look of surprise.

"There's civil strife in Siam?" This was something no one expected.

Hearing this, Li Er smiled and said: "Don't talk about you, even I didn't expect it, but this is a good thing for Datang.

Today, Siam is divided into several factions, but no matter which faction it is, it is hostile to our Tang Dynasty.

If there was more time, it would be possible to win over one party, but now, there is no possibility at all.

After all, in Siam at this stage, it is politically correct to fight against the Tang Dynasty, which we cannot solve. "

After saying that, Li Er also shook his head. He was actually quite helpless.

If he was given more time, he would even be sure to capture Siam without any bloodshed, but Ming Dynasty did not give him time, and Li Chengqian did not give him time.

This is where he is most helpless.

At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's Secret Service has an urgent report."

Since going south, Li Er has gradually placed Baiqisi's focus on the Ming Dynasty. However, due to time constraints, Baiqisi has not yet been able to gain a firm foothold in the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the urgent report from the Secret Intelligence Department, Li Er only glanced at it briefly, and then his whole expression dimmed.

"I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty's Southern Expedition went so smoothly, but it seems that the Tang Dynasty did not do anything."

He didn't have too many emotional reactions. For someone like him, it was normal for him to remain calm even when the mountain collapsed.

"Your Majesty, could it be that the Ming Dynasty has already captured five Tianzhus?" Everyone was shocked when they heard what Li Er said.

Speaking of which, it was the Tang Dynasty that went south first, and the Ming Dynasty followed up with the southern expedition.

But now, the Tang Dynasty had just entered the territory of Siam, and news came from the Ming Dynasty. Who wouldn't be shocked?

"See for yourself." Li Er handed the secret report from the Secret Service to the chamberlain and said with a smile, "In terms of deterrence, Datang lacks a lot.

Of course, this is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty was in the flames of war when it first established itself.

The deterrence of neighboring countries is created by countless wars.

At this point, my Datang is indeed inferior to others. "

When Changsun Wuji and others read the secret report from the Secret Intelligence Department, they all looked frightened. Even if the Ming Dynasty has not yet captured the five Tianzhus, considering the current progress, it is still frightening. .

"Looking at it this way, it won't be long before the Ming Dynasty can capture the five Tianzhus?" Someone said with disbelief, "And what's going on with this Western Tianzhu? Did it surrender to the Ming Dynasty without any resistance?"

Only now did they finally understand what Li Er said before.

Indeed, among neighboring countries, the Ming Dynasty was more intimidating than the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty has stationed troops on the border for so long, when has anyone ever surrendered without a fight?
Only the Ming Dynasty, many countries have indeed willingly surrendered to it in recent years.

"Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty has been too cruel in recent years." Changsun Wuji laughed when he heard the words, "The fact that it has such a deterrent effect among neighboring countries is due to countless killings.

This deterrent effect is actually not long-lasting.

On the contrary, Wei Chen still thinks that Datang is doing so well now. "

The meaning of what he said is actually very simple.

Ming Dynasty seems to be strong, but that is the result of countless killings. In their eyes, this is not a glory.

"Indeed." Someone said immediately, "All this in the Ming Dynasty was brought about by brutal killings. In fact, it is nothing. If the Tang Dynasty was as brutal as them, it would naturally have such a deterrent effect.

But our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, how can it be like this? "

Obviously, they did not approve of Ming's approach. Even though they were shocked by the efficiency of Ming's southern expedition, they still did not approve of Ming's approach.

"You can't say that." Wei Zheng, who had been silent until he saw this, stood up and said, "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has grown up in constant battles.

Sometimes there was indeed more killing, but that was helpless. "

Since Wei Zheng went out with the army, he has been like a transparent person. Many times, he has not spoken.

Of course, this is also because he is now a guilty person.

But this time it involved the Ming Dynasty, so Wei Zheng stood up and said something.

Even though he is now without an official position, few people in the court are willing to provoke him.

At this moment, when he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Li Er smiled and said: "It doesn't matter in what situation the Ming Dynasty was founded. What is important is that the Ming Dynasty did achieve many miracles that are difficult to understand in the Tang Dynasty.

And why, our country, Datang, has made no achievements in these aspects?

This is the most important.

Isn’t it appropriate to learn from others’ good points?

Isn’t it right to make changes on this basis?

Datang, this shouldn’t be like this..."
