In the small room behind Jinxiangdian study, Guo Shao turned the desks on the wooden frame into a mess.The eunuch Cao Tai heard the sharp voice from behind: What file should Your Majesty find? I ask for an order to serve you.
Guo Shao did not respond, and finally found a stack of files. He took them to the table and sat down and looked through them for a while. His eyes lit up and he stretched out his fingers and pressed a name: Feng Jiye.
Guo Shao slapped his forehead and finally remembered this name, which was the person he was looking for.
Who is Feng Jiye?The former Shuofang Jiedushi (Lingzhou), a cruel and warlike man, often attacked and intercepted the tribes when he was in Lingzhou, and had a very poor relationship with the tribes in the northwest. He was later dismissed by Guo Shao.
In order to attack Youzhou in the north and stabilize the northwest rear, Guo Shao married the Dangxiang people and compromised. There was one of the conditions to discuss, killing Feng Jiye... It can be seen that this person was often angry with Dangxiang people!
Guo Shao did not kill that guy, but he was dismissed and Zhe Deji replaced him.
Where is Feng Jiye now?Guo Shao asked.
Cao Tai looked confused and thought for a while and said: I will go to the Ministry of Personnel immediately and ask the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to report to Your Majesty.
Soon, Cao Tai brought Feng Jiye's situation.Bureaucrats of Feng Jiye's level will be noticed by the court regardless of whether they are in office. After being dismissed and returned to their hometown, local officials will generally assume this responsibility.
Cao Tai said: Feng Jiye returned to his hometown. At the end of last year, it is said that he bought a lot of land and was herding sheep...
Tell him not to herd sheep.Guo Shao walked straight and asked Wang Pu to order Feng Jiye to be appointed as Lingzhou defense envoy, commanding the troops in Lingzhou towns, and then transferring cavalry from the northwest towns to him.
Cao Tai hurriedly said: I will obey the order.
Guo Shao said in a deep voice: I secretly ordered Feng Jiye to punish those who are unforgivable.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to smell a bloody smell from the vibration of the sound... In a word, sometimes it means blood flows into a river.
Realizing the consequences, Guo Shao suddenly thought: How kind and cruel are there in his heart?
But what he could be sure was that he was definitely not so kind, even though Xuan Ren had been used as the year name.
He is very tolerant and righteous to the people around him, his ministers and people, but that is just a wise move.
Guo Shao believes in one thing: if he goes against the interests of most people and everyone is dissatisfied with himself, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely be ruined.
...A few days later, in the Jinxiang Hall dynasty, under the attention of hundreds of civil and military personnel, Li Chuyun obtained the military power of the commander of the Western Expedition, and was personally granted the emperor a seal, king's order, military talisman and other items.
Generals such as Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao were in charge of the troops, but they needed the assistance of at least four central government offices.
At the same time, the Hexi Qianying Military Office was established. The Privy Councilor Wei Renpu was appointed as the chief of the military office, and the Prime Minister Li Gu was appointed as the transfer envoy, responsible for the dispatch of military supplies and supplies, and the Minister of Works, Zan Jurun, was appointed as the military supervisor.
The Hexi Army is expected to be composed of 50,000 infantry and cavalry, and the imperial guards in the Central Plains and the northwest prefectures gathered in the guards. It will take about a month for the army to organize.
The military office was the first to establish the front camp military camp in the northwest of Anyuanmen. Only after the organization was formed could all matters be arranged according to the rules.
In the rough military camp lobby, Li Chuyun walked into the military palace wearing military uniform and armor, holding his sword and holding his head up.A large group of people in the room looked sideways, some marching with fists, and some bowing.
Li Chuyun strided to the upper position, looked back and forth, raised his hands, and dozens of people gradually calmed down.
He first put the seal on the case, then took out the imperial edict and asked the followers to take it down and show it to everyone.
Li Chuyun cleared his throat and said loudly: According to the order of Emperor Daxu, I will serve as the commander of the Hexi Army!From now on, the following army shall have the right to command, mobilize, deploy, and deal with the front line...
He read it very seriously.Although the house is so rough and old, and the place is not big, the ritual-like scene made Li Chuyun excited. God bless my emperor and live forever!
God bless my emperor and live forever!The monks and wives immediately echoed and acknowledged that Li Chuyun's military power came from the emperor's politeness!
Li Chuyun stood there, looking at the dust flying in the sun outside the gate, the familiar sound of horse hooves kept coming, and his face turned red.
He looked back and said: Da Xu's majesty will follow the emperor's cavalry and spread it to all directions.
...The war machine in Tokyo Daliang is working well.The news of launching a war is not unusual to the officials and civilians of Xu State. People have long been accustomed to it, because there seems to be no war in these years.
No one can tell why the court started a war so smoothly... The common people would not hate Xu Jun's war, because in recent years, the war has always been far away and has not had any impact on the lives of the people.
Generals will not refuse war. They need military merit. Military merit brings the face of glorious ancestors and brings a lot of income. Silver coins from Japan continue to stimulate the desires of the soldiers.
Civil officials no longer stop the war, and the dividends of money houses come quickly, which is much easier than collecting land rent; rather than deploying a large number of troops to defend the border, the attack made the officials in power feel that national defense has been saved a lot, and the land wealth they own can be guaranteed.
Under the rising national power, the increasingly wealthy life made officials not want to stop the emperor's ambitions.
Just like this Western Expedition, the ministers didn't know how it happened.
The soldiers gathered in the north city of Tokyo, and people realized that the war was about to begin again, and everything seemed like an absurd dream.
The national policy of military military and military affairs is so lubricating, it seems to gradually deviate from the teachings of ancient sages.
Privy Councilor Wang Pu once played chess with Guo Shao in Yangde Hall, and he talked about this. The old minister couldn't tell what was wrong, but occasionally felt uneasy.Daxun's civil and military achievements are the symbol of prosperity, but this should not be the case in prosperity.
Guo Shao asked: What do you think Wang Envoy should do?
Wang Pu said: Just like during the Zhenguan period, there were peace and Datong rulers in the prosperous times, and they were wise rulers throughout the ages.
Being conservative does not necessarily mean being stable.Guo Shao put a chess piece on the chessboard. I asked the king why the peaceful and prosperous times are always unsustainable, and will eventually lead to chaos?
Wang Pu frowned and said: Your Majesty’s question is a sentence or two that cannot be explained clearly, and it must be tens of thousands of words.
Guo Shao shook his head and said: I think the most fundamental reason is that there is insufficient land and resources, and I cannot afford to bear the growing population; therefore, wars and plagues have caused sharp declines in the population and regained balance.This is true in all countries in the world, regardless of East or West.
After hearing this, Wang Pu felt very novel and was stunned for a moment.
Guo Shao glanced at him: The Tao Te Ching says that heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as straw dogs.The rules of the world are similar to those of birds, beasts and ants. If you want to achieve the great rule of the world and the paradise of the world as mentioned by the saints, there is probably no way.
I am also wondering what to do... But until now, I still feel that expanding space and expansion-oriented countries can survive better.
When the population is too large, they migrate to other places to relieve the pressure.
In the past two years, a way has been found to exil all prisoners who violated the law, implicated population, and those who rebel and uprising to the provinces.The criminal atones for sin in remote places, which is also a kind of rebirth.
Wang Pu could not refute Guo Shao.
Guo Shao knew that Wang Pu was very wise, but even geniuses were controlled by his insight.Obviously, Wang Pu had no way to use ancient knowledge to refute Guo Shao... Wang Pu did not dare to argue, after all, he was facing the emperor.
But Wang Pu was silent and did not agree with Guo Shao's remarks.
Guo Shao understood Wang Pu’s feelings a little...
I remember hearing a saying in my previous life that some people say that Chinese people have no religious beliefs since ancient times, and it is difficult to understand that they can last for so long.
Guo Shao felt that people had a belief, similar to what Wang Pu felt now; that belief was not a belief in a specific god, but a very mysterious concept: a sense of awe.
Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism are all like this. People in the world are not very pious about anything, but scholars will do some things about building roads and paving bridges and accumulate good relationships. They vaguely feel that there are gods who come up with their heads and dare not let go of anything they do.
Even a monk who believes in Buddhism dares not curse the gods in the City God Temple at will.
Now Guo Shao completely ignores the path of ancient sages and does everything he believes in. No wonder those with knowledge are worried.
After a long time, Wang Pu said: Feng Jiye should be about to arrive in Lingzhou, what will he do there?
Guo Shao and he looked at each other in dismay.
I only do the right thing.Guo Shao suddenly said.There was a tremolo in his voice. Perhaps he was not very awake at this time, but as an emperor, he should not show disconfidence.
Whether in his past or present life, Guo Shao is just a young man. Until now, he can't even understand the "Book of Changes" very well. He really has limited understanding of the world... but he thinks he is a practitioner.
Have you ever seen the great harmony?We don’t have to describe a dream, there is another way, that is, we can continue to try it.Guo Shao said.
He stood up, took out a glass bottle from a drawer, and handed it to Wang Pu.
Wang Pu took it and looked at the gray powder inside and asked: Your Majesty, what is this?
Mix limestone and volcanic ash together, place them in a brick kiln, and grind them into ashes. Mix water and sand to make clay.Guo Shao said, I spent several months trying out the cement soil from various minerals.
Wang Pu looked at the bottle in front of the light in the window for a while, and said in a deep voice: Your Majesty wants to use this object to build a fortress on the battlefield?
Guo Shao said: That's exactly what it is.Ishijian Fort has confirmed the defensive power of Liuhua Fort. I am trying to find ways to strengthen this fortress and build a more stable defensive organization. After it is completed, no one can conquer it.
His eyes were bright and he said with a little excitement: I will build a fortress in all places I can reach and let the guards defend the vast territory!
Guo Shao couldn't suppress his idea of mastering the operation of the world in his heart. Whether it was a simple mixture of gunpowder, a ship made of wooden sails, or a fortress made of clay made of ore ash, or a rammed brick, he felt that he could use the most simple technology to rule the entire world.
When people's hearts grow bigger, everything is hard to suppress.
Guo Shao did not respond, and finally found a stack of files. He took them to the table and sat down and looked through them for a while. His eyes lit up and he stretched out his fingers and pressed a name: Feng Jiye.
Guo Shao slapped his forehead and finally remembered this name, which was the person he was looking for.
