Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 360; Angry

Her words made Fang Zhilan feel confused again.

Coming from a family of civil servants, she was actually very disgusted with the idea of ​​war, especially now that it was just a short time after the troubled times of the previous dynasty.

We can also learn about the dark age of war and disaster from the mouths of many old people.

How long did the people of the Yu Dynasty stay stable?
"Your Majesty wants to fight?"

Seeing her look, Huo Junyao knew what she was thinking. He picked up the teapot from the side and poured her a cup of tea, and then poured herself a cup.

"It is not good to fight, but some wars must be fought."

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the Turks in the north. What do you think of these people?"

Fang Zhilan, who had just taken a sip of tea, blurted out almost without any consideration.

"Ambition is a heinous act."

Although Fang Zhilan has lived a stable life since she was a child, it does not prevent her from reading about some of the evil deeds done by the northern peoples in the Central Plains from other people's mouths or from books.

Not far away from their Yu Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, the people in power in the Central Plains court were weak at that time, and the northern ethnic groups attacked the Central Plains, burning, killing, and looting the land of the Central Plains.

There is no human habitation for hundreds of miles. It is said that at that time tens of millions of people in the Central Plains were killed, and only a few million were left.

Cold words in history books are not as likely as facts.

At the beginning of the founding of the Yu Dynasty, there were still two anti-king forces in the country, and the Turks from the north invaded again. That time was really the key to the survival of the Yu Dynasty.

Fortunately, the Turks did not launch a large-scale attack later. They only extorted countless wealth from the Yu Dynasty. Even the then-reigning Emperor even sent a princess to marry him in humiliation, which briefly allowed the Turks to retreat.

In the following years, the Turks would invade the country with their troops every year, forcing the Yu Dynasty to give money. For ten years, those Turkic bastards took away countless money from the Yu Dynasty.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Yu Dynasty was so poor. In the first ten years, the Turks once again invaded the country with a large army and tried to extort money. However, the Yu Dynasty court, which had calmed down the domestic situation, was not threatened by them this time.

Instead, he directly sent Ding Guo Gong Li Jiujun to take command, and Ning Guo Gong Cheng Yong was the vanguard and taught the Turks a lesson. Although the battle was brutal, the price paid by the Turks in the north was not small.

Since then, the Turks have not dared to press the border with large armies, but every year there are large and small rangers doing evil on the border.

It can be said that the Turks were the enemies in the hearts of the entire Yu Dynasty.

"That's right. Let's talk about Tuyuhun and Tubo. These two are not friendly either. They are also eyeing us."

"Second sister-in-law has been doing business during this period. She must have seen the Western Region Trade Road during the Kyushu period, right?"

Fang Zhilan nodded repeatedly. Of course she knew this. The Jiuzhou Dynasty relied on this road to gather a lot of wealth from outside the Western Regions.

However, with the decline of the Kyushu Dynasty and the change of times, this later trade road was directly cut off and has not been opened again until now.

"If the Yu Dynasty wants to develop, it will definitely not be enough to rely on its own country's wealth. The country's wealth is only so much, and it won't get more if it turns over."

"Although it is stable, it is far from enough to grow stronger. Even if you add Turks, it is not enough."

"Therefore, Tuyuhun and Tubo must be defeated. Only in this way can the trade road be restarted, so that the Yu Dynasty can obtain wealth from further places, and the Western Region is a good place. There are many grains there that cannot be seen in the Central Plains. seed."

"Some good seeds are no less effective than corn and potatoes." "I can understand it, and the emperor can understand it, and even Uncle Fang should know it in his heart. It's just that the development of the Yu Dynasty was not good at the beginning, but these The situation in Yu Dynasty continues to get better.”

"Just watch, it won't be long before the Turks will be beaten."

Fang Zhilan nodded. After hearing what Huo Junyao said, she also understood some of Emperor Zhaowu's plans.

Indeed, if we really want to launch a large-scale foreign expedition, it is better to stabilize the country.

The Crown Prince and Prince Qi have been making more and more moves in recent years, making the current court a bit chaotic, with factions and factions looking for trouble for each other.

Under such circumstances, it is really not suitable to attack foreign countries. If some people get careful and play tricks on some things, the consequences will be disastrous.

She did not doubt the courage of these people at all, especially the princes. These guys now only want to be in power. If they can kill with one blow, they will never let go of this opportunity, even if they know that doing so may cause serious consequences. As a result, they will also take desperate risks.

I have to say that Huo Junyao's analysis still makes some sense.

Emperor Zhaowu has been looking at the treasury that has been continuously filling in the past two years, and he has already been ready to launch foreign conquests.

It has been almost ten years since he came to power. Although the people of the Yu Dynasty now live in peace and harmony, these achievements cannot be completely attributed to him. As an emperor, he is eager to make some achievements of his own.

The first person he targeted was the Turks, and the reason for attacking the Turks was not only for revenge, but also because the Turks were a natural horse farm.

Only by defeating the Turks can they continue to obtain war horses and strengthen their army.

In this era of cold weapons, the lethality of cavalry was just new. One of the main reasons why the Central Plains dynasty had always had a headache for the northern nomads was the lack of enough war horses.

Therefore, if you want to attack a larger territory, war horses are essential.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu asked Gao Fu to take out the maps around the Yu Dynasty and began to study them himself.

It's quite quiet here, but the capital is not quiet at all.

Especially in the East Palace, there was no smile on the prince's face during this period. The money he finally got was just gone, and more than ten people died.

What made him most angry was the news that he suddenly received news today that Lao Zhang's shares had been bought.

Originally, Lao Li's was already bought by someone, and now Lao Zhang's is gone.

After more than a month of painstaking planning, he got nothing, and even lost such a big man. Then he remembered what his father said before that he and the King of Chu each spent 20,000 guan.

Although nothing happened later, he knew very well that once the matter was found out, he would be in even greater trouble.

I'm afraid that not only will he be reprimanded, but he may also be compensated 20,000 yuan.

As for the fact that his money has been robbed, who knows whether it was robbed or not?
"Have you not found out who did it?"

That's right, until now the prince has not yet found out who killed the other person, robbed him of his money, and set fire to the yard.

Of course, he directly targeted the King of Qi and the King of Chu, but after investigating these days, he found no clues at all.

"The subordinates are incompetent."

"You are indeed incompetent. I will give you two days. If I can't find anyone, you don't have to come back."
