Chapter 407 The Speech Before the Expedition

I said to Shi Yanzhi: "Shi Aiqing, you select [-] students from Lin'an Military University to join the army as an observation group, but you must not let them go to the battlefield in person. They can only serve as the army's staff, and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield by the way. , and, you should inform Tian Xiuyan and Gongsun Xiaochen to also go together, "

Shi Yanzhi said: "Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Yin Aiqing, Li Aiqing, after the Eastern Expeditionary Army completes the first two tasks, you immediately send people back to Lin'an to report the situation to me,"

"Your Majesty understands," Yin Yinglei said, "Your Majesty, I have another question. After defeating Goryeo, will I support the local forces to establish a political power like the Ryukyu Province?"

"No, first adopt the method of military control, and wait until the entire Song-Mongol War is over before discussing it,"

Koryo is not the same as Ryukyu, and its history is much longer. Relatively speaking, it is not easy to conquer.

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

"Yin Aiqing, Li Aiqing, when you set off, I will have fifty imperial guards accompany you to protect your safety personally,"

The two said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty,"

I nodded, and said to Lu Xiufu: "Lu Aiqing, have you planned the establishment of the Ryukyu Military Division in Ryukyu Province?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the planning has been completed. The newly established Ryukyu Military Division has an establishment of 500 people, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Council. Among them, 4000 are from the navy, which is the main force of the Ryukyu Military Region. Another [-] personnel are stationed on the island. It is composed of soldiers from the former Lin'an Military Region. By the end of this year, [-] Ryukyu natives will be recruited to replace [-]% of the existing soldiers, and the ratio will be increased year by year. The Military Affairs Council suggests that Zhao Bao be the first envoy of the Ryukyu Military Region The general’s deputy is Zhang Qingshan, the former deputy commander of the Lin’an Military Region, and the deputy governor is Cai Chang, the governor of the Ryukyu Province. The relevant memorial has been drafted and will be submitted to the palace tomorrow, please Your Majesty for review.”

"Well, do you have any suggestions or ideas about the Eastern Expedition?"

Li Beiyang said: "Your Majesty, can you use the artifact?"

I said without hesitation: "This is not possible, it is an artifact, of course it must be used in key places,"

"Yes, I understand,"

Ouyang Jianqing, who was sitting in the corner, saw that no one was talking, so he got up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not,"

In a meeting of this level, with Ouyang Jianqing's official position, he has no right to speak at all. I looked at Ouyang Jianqing who was a little nervous, and smiled and said, "Ouyang Jianqing, if you have something to say, please speak."

"Your Majesty, my second uncle has been traveling all over the world. He happened to be in Koryo last year. According to him, during the heyday of the Koryo Dynasty, the army once reached 1 people. In the past ten years, although the Koryo army has been defeated by the Mongols one after another, As a result of retreating to Ganghwa Island, there were only more than [-] troops left under the direct control of the Goryeo regime. However, the local armed forces scattered in various places should not be underestimated. It is one of the reasons why Kublai Khan did not forcibly occupy the entire territory of Koryo,"

"There are so many local armed forces in Goryeo," Lu Xiufu said in surprise, "It seems that our army's intelligence is still not detailed enough."

Fan Wenhuan said: "The local armed forces should not pose a threat to our army."

Shi Yanzhi echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I also think there will be no serious problems."

In later generations, even the mighty U.S. military fell into a pit in Vietnam. This pit was composed of thousands of small pits, and it moved the elephant of the U.S. military down like ants moving house.

Even a famous general like Shi Yanzhi was not optimistic about the so-called local armed forces. It can be seen that the generals at this time looked down on Xiaokeng. Among the generals present, only Yin Yinglei and Lu Xiufu seemed to be lost in thought.

After thinking about it for a long time, I said: "The situation Ouyang Jianqing said is very important. You should not be careless. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can't fight, you will retreat. Don't fall into it. Tamna abroad, you have to evaluate the second mission before making a decision. I believe that with the capabilities of our army, we can defeat the Goryeo army, but what will follow may be endless melee. Maybe I don’t know, this is not what I want to see, after all, Mongolia is our most important enemy right now.”

Lu Xiufu, who has had the most contact with me, said: "Lord Yin, Lord Li, Your Majesty will not be aimless. The purpose of our army's eastward expedition is not entirely to recover Koryo, but to oppress Mongolia. It is impossible to attack Mongolia when the armed forces are entangled, so please be careful,"

Yin Yinglei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I understand that I will judge the situation."

"Well, Yin Aiqing, you are flexible in handling things, I can rest assured, Yin Aiqing, Li Aiqing, you only need to understand the purpose of the Eastern Expedition that Lu Aiqing said, and I will let you do things cheaply,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey the order,"

After discussing the tactics and precautions of the Eastern Expedition, I said: "The Eastern Expedition to Korea is the first war this year, and it can also be said to be the prelude to the third war between Song and Mongolia. In the time of war, dear dears, the burden on you is very heavy. Although I don't like war, I can only exchange for long-term peace through war. Since Taizu Taizong, our dynasty has gone through hardships. First, Song and Liao confronted each other. Then came the Song and Jin Dynasties, and now Song and Meng. The surrounding area has never been peaceful. During the period, there was still the shame of Jingkang that I Song people will never forget. Everyone should know the reason for this. Everyone, only by reflecting on history can we understand history. I am not afraid of exposing my family ugliness. The previous emperors had serious inappropriate foreign policies. The economy of our dynasty was developed. Even when Emperor Gaozong was traveling to the south, the tax revenue of the country was much higher than that of the Jin Kingdom at that time. This is the goal of our dynasty. The point of success, however, is that a country cannot rely solely on the economy, it also needs to be rich and strong, and only by completely eradicating the robbers who covet our dynasty can we ensure that we can enjoy the benefits that economic development brings to our dynasty.”

"When it comes to China's thousands of years of history, it is easy for everyone to think of the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Where is the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties? Not only is the economy developed, but the military is also strong. The economy of our dynasty has surpassed that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, the military strength is relatively weak. Objectively speaking, there were no such powerful countries as Liao, Jin, and Mongolia around the Han and Tang Dynasties, so the Han and Tang Dynasties were able to defeat the surrounding powers. The relatively weak military strength I mentioned is the result of a comprehensive comparison. , Today, the existence of Mongolia is an indisputable fact, so we can only face it bravely. History has come to this day, and God has given me a new historical mission in the Xianchun dynasty, which is to maintain the orthodoxy of my Chinese family and continue The millennium's inheritance, I have fulfilled my destiny, and as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I will naturally accept this mission, no matter how powerful Mongolia is, it will be difficult to prevent me from dominating the world, my Great Song Dynasty, my Chinese nation will surely win the final victory, "

Yinying Lei Zan said: "In the past, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up the largest territory of the Han Dynasty and achieved brilliant achievements, but because of his successive years of fighting, he did not develop the economy at the same time, so that the national treasury was exhausted and the people's livelihood was withered. In the later years of the throne, peasant riots occurred; although Tang Taizong had the rule of Zhenguan, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, and he was honored as Tian Khan by the people of all ethnic groups, which laid an important foundation for the Kaiyuan prosperity of the later Tang Dynasty. As for the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period, although the society presents an unprecedented scene of prosperity, Tang Xuanzong was completely different before and after, which eventually led to the collapse of the Tang Dynasty. I believe that your majesty is far more wise than Tang Zong and Han Wu, and is actually the real emperor through the ages ,"

"Yin Aiqing, you have learned to flatter me too," I said with a smile, "When I recover the mountains and rivers, unify the world, and the people live and work in peace, Aiqing will come to make such comments again."

Yin Yinglei said sternly: "Your Majesty, it's not just flattery. Since I served as the envoy of the Lin'an Military Region, I have had many contacts with the President of the Military Affairs Academy Lu and other adults, so I know that your Majesty's thoughts are unprecedented. Let's not say anything else. The sixteen-character tactic that His Majesty said alone is enough to surpass the military masters of the past. When General Ouyang mentioned the local forces in Goryeo just now, His Majesty was able to make a correct judgment in a very short period of time. I think that to be able to achieve such a far-sighted vision, since no one can do it, only a man of God

It can be said that I am quite proficient in the history of the Han people. Since ancient times, only Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Han people, can be called a god. The god of your majesty is no less than Xuanyuan Huangdi. explain,"

Fan Wenhuan followed up and said: "Master Yin's words are very reasonable. There is a saying in the ancients, three years old is old, and seven years old is old. With the god of your majesty, it can be seen that the next few decades will also be seen, and the minister agrees."

The so-called flattery does not wear thousands of shots, and I enjoy it very much after listening to it. Flattery itself is not slander, but because most of the flatterers have good intentions, or even sinister intentions, it becomes a negative statement. Of course, If I benefit from it, I will naturally not indulge in flattery and lose myself.

I continued: "Although Tang Zong and Han Wu are great men of a generation, they have already passed away. Whether I am a god or a human being, the most important thing is to constantly innovate on the basis of the ancient thinking and absorb the predecessors. At the same time, we must avoid mistakes made by our predecessors. For example, Yin Aiqing, I sent you to the Han Dynasty more than 1000 years ago. With your familiarity with history, you will definitely do better than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Well, because you already know the course of history, you can follow the correct approach of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and you can also correct his wrong approach. ,"

"Back to the Han Dynasty," Yin Yinglei said in surprise, "Your Majesty, is there such a possibility? If it is possible, Your Majesty should send the minister to more than 100 years ago. I will not let the golden man step into my dynasty even if I try my best!" ,"

Li Beiyang said with a smile: "Lord Yin, in my opinion, you should stay here."

Yin Yinglei was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Master Li, what do you mean by this, is it possible that Yin is not the enemy of the Jinren?"
