Nimoxing glanced at Mathur and said worriedly: "I think we have provoked a terrible opponent that we should not provoke!"
Mathur smiled and said: "I'm afraid no one is willing to believe this kind of thing." Nimoxing frowned and said: "Not wanting to believe it can't change the fact. When we have to accept this cruel fact, I'm afraid Disaster has struck!"
Mathur thought: "What you said may make sense. But I don't think things will develop as you think! It's true that the Ming Dynasty is indeed much more powerful than we imagined, but our Great Tianzhu will never lose. Give it to them! Our Great Tianzhu is the most powerful human empire in history. No race can compare with us in terms of overall strength! The Han people should be cowardly, and what we encountered today should only be a very small number of aliens in the Han army! What’s more, we have invincible war elephants, no army can compete with us in the wilderness!"
Nimoxing could understand Mathur's remarks and what instructions Mathur actually had. I'm afraid all the soldiers thought the same way. As a native of Tianzhu, Nimoxing understood the thoughts of Tianzhu people very well. Although his compatriots saw the facts, they were unwilling to believe this fact that they could not accept. They would rather believe in their own imaginations. But then again, Mathur's words may make sense. Da Tianzhu's overall strength should be far superior to Yan Yun, and the powerful enemies encountered in the past two days may really be just a few outliers among the Han people. . The Han people have always been cowardly, so they should not be so brave and good at fighting.
In the big tent, the Kshatriya, as the general marshal, was discussing matters with General Singhal.
Kshatriya asked: "What do you think of the situation at hand?" Singer frowned and said: "The cowardly Han people are huddled in the dangerous fortress. It is not easy for us to attack by force! Even if we attack with force like this, we will eventually If you break the fortress in front of you and then capture Dali City, you will probably pay a heavy price. It is really not worth the gain!"
Kshatriya nodded and asked: "What do you think?" Singer said: "We, the great Indian people, are the people chosen by God, so naturally we will not be afraid of the Eastern Han people! However, if there is a simpler way, why should we We must fight them to the death ourselves! Generalissimo, if we suffer heavy losses in order to eliminate the Han people, I am afraid that the Bagan people will take advantage of us!"
Kshatriya's heart moved, he glanced at Singer and said, "You mean to let the Bagan people fight the Han people?" Singer smiled slightly and said: "Pulipeng is so aggressive that he wants to seek revenge from the Han people. How about we just do it?" Let him go and fight the Han people. After they fight to the death, we can sweep across the whole of Dali in one go, and maybe we can take the opportunity to invade the Sichuan area of the Han people! I heard that the Sichuan area of the Han people is very rich, far more than Dali! There are even rumors that the place where the Han people live is the most heavenly place! Such a good place should belong to God's chosen people like us, how can it be occupied by those inferior ethnic groups!"
Kshatriya nodded in agreement, looked at Singhal, and said: "Your suggestion is very good, it's settled!"
Bianliang, the residence of 'Huaxu'.
Wang Lu, the leader of the pavilion, took a letter and came to the bedroom behind the court hall. He looked around, but there was no one in sight. He only saw men's clothes and women's clothes scattered everywhere. One of them, a woman's black bellyband, was hanging in the corner of the screen, which was particularly eye-catching. Then the occasional whispering voice came from behind the landscape screen on the left, followed by two soft and charming laughter from a woman, which was heart-stirring. Wang Lu immediately realized what had happened, her pretty face couldn't help but blush, she bowed towards the landscape screen and clasped her fists, "Your Majesty, eldest sister, the latest military report has been sent from Dali."
The lazy and charming female voice came out: "Bring it in."
When Wang Lu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head and turned away from the screen. When I came to the bed, I saw men's and women's underwear scattered on the ground. The rich fragrance hit my nostrils. Although I didn't see the scene on the bed, a scene that made my blood boil could not help but appear in my mind. . Wang Lu stretched out her hands, placed the letter on the edge of the bed, and quickly retreated. When she returned to the outside of the screen, she couldn't help but let out a long breath. When she thought of her eldest sister's naked appearance, she couldn't help but feel hot and excited. He quickly shook his head and left quickly.
Behind the screen, Yan Ji sat on the edge of the bed, naked, with slender legs, perfect arcs, and strands of green silk draped over her shoulders, contrasting with a beautiful face that even Chang'e would be jealous of. Yan Ji put one beautiful leg on top of the other, picked up the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper and read it. Yang Peng sat up from behind, gently caressed Yan Ji's smooth skin, and kissed her pink neck with his lips.
Yan Ji felt a little itchy and said with a smile: "Stop making trouble, it's time to get down to business!"
Yang Peng put his arms around Yan Ji's waist and rested his head on her shoulder. He looked at the letter in her hand and asked, "What does it say?"
Yan Ji said: "This is the report sent by Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng used a trick to lure Duan Zhichun to leave Fengyu County, and then completely annihilated his main force near Dali City and captured Fengyu County at the same time. "
Yang Peng Yanjing was brightened, and quickly took the letter from Yan Ji's hand and read it. He couldn't help but laughed and said: "Okay! Shi Liancheng did a great job! It can be said that he is becoming more and more skilled in the use of strategies!" Then he thought about it: "In this way, the Dali City area will become a city with sufficient It’s a strong fortress against the enemy!” He smiled and said, “That’s great! In this way, at least the worst case scenario should be impossible!” After a pause, he thought: “But we have to consider the worst case scenario. .Consider what to do if Shi Liancheng and the others cannot resist?"
Turning to Yan Ji, she asked, "I remember receiving a report yesterday that 400,000 civilian troops have been mobilized in Sichuan, Henan, and Hanzhong Jiangnan areas?" Yan Ji nodded and gave Yang Peng a charming look. Yang Peng couldn't help but laugh when he remembered the scene of reading the report on his bare butt yesterday.
Then he thought about it: "Considering the current situation, I think these 400,000 civilian troops should be sent up."
Yan Ji said in surprise: "Didn't you say that the combat effectiveness of the civilian army is very unreliable? Why did you send them in again?"
Yang Peng said: "Without giving it a try, it is difficult to know how effective these civilian armies can be. In this war, what I most want to see is that our reserve army and military mobilization system play the role expected. Today's military mobilization I have seen the effect of the system. Although there are still some unsatisfactory aspects, overall I am very satisfied. Hundreds of thousands of military and civilian troops were mobilized in one month. Get up. Now we have to see if our reserve military forces can play an adequate role."
Yan Jixiao asked: "Aren't you afraid that the civilian army will not be able to act as adults and cause us to suffer heavy losses and setbacks?"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "You can't trap the wolf if you don't want to give up your children! How can we know the strength of our reserve force without taking a little risk!"
Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng's face, raised her slender hand and touched it gently, saying with a look of obsession: "Husband, do you know? Your bold and fearless temperament is the most charming!" Yang Peng hugged her. Yan Ji's slender waist kissed her red lips, and the report in her hand fell down.
Yan Ji suddenly pushed Yang Peng away and got off the bed. Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji in surprise. Yan Ji smiled charmingly and raised her slender hand towards Yang Peng. Her chin was raised slightly, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes looked like a fairy or a demon. Yang Peng felt that all his souls were attracted to her, and he couldn't help but reach out and hold her delicate hand, and got off the bed. Yan Ji leaned on Yang Peng's shoulder, put her red lips against Yang Peng's ear, and said in an extremely seductive tone: "Husband, let me serve you well!" Yang Peng felt that all the bones in his body immediately softened, and there was a kind of The feeling of ecstasy...
Yang Peng was sitting in the study room of the palace, listening to the reports of the people who stayed behind in the cabinet, but he looked absent-minded. He patted his head and temporarily suppressed those beautiful images in his mind.
I only heard Tang Shidian say: "... Such a trend of thought appears not only among the people in the city, but also within the academy. I feel that this matter cannot be ignored, so I specially ask your Majesty to give it a try."
Yang Peng didn't understand what he was talking about and asked, "What trend of thought are you talking about?"
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Tang Shidian said: "Reporting to your Majesty, there is currently a trend of thought among the people and universities. They believe that the world has been settled and no one can threaten us. The empire should change its policy of focusing on conquest and instead focus on conquest. The main focus is on the national economy and people’s livelihood.”
Yang Peng frowned and said, "Isn't this matter already concluded? Why are there different voices again?"
Everyone felt that His Majesty was angry, and they did not dare to speak for a while. Huang Qiaoyun said: "Although many people agree with Big Brother's remarks! But there are still many people who disagree and have other ideas. Many people like peace and don't like war. This is like being inactive. Although the truth has been explained very clearly. It’s clear, but many people are still afraid of war and want to avoid war!” Everyone nodded.
Yang Peng frowned and said: "The truth between war and peace is obvious, why can't I explain it clearly! Some people are really hiding their ears!"
Tang Shidian bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are always some people in the world who are ignorant. Since such a trend of thought has appeared, we must find a way to deal with it."
Yang Peng smiled bitterly and said: "What else can be done? Apart from education, it is still education. We can't just kill everyone if others have different opinions!"
"This approach is like Qin Shihuang burning books to trap Confucians. The result is that Confucianism seems to be the victim and Confucianism seems to be the defender of the right way. What's more, speech and ideological matters are not sins and cannot be punished for words. ." Chen Xiao said.
Everyone agreed very much and worshiped: "Your Majesty is wise!" Huang Qiaoyun said angrily: "What the elder brother said makes sense, but some people's remarks are just annoying!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "It's okay to be angry, but you don't need to take it too seriously." Huang Qiaoyun glanced at Yang Peng, and the look in his eyes seemed to say: Brother, you are so generous!
Yang Peng chuckled, looked at Tang Shidian, and asked, "What are the ideological attitudes of professors and teachers from various places?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the professors and teachers basically agree with His Majesty's thoughts. As for them, Your Majesty can rest assured that we have evaluated their thoughts when selecting professors and teachers, and there should be no problems with them. "Tang Shidian said. Yang Peng nodded. Tang Shidian frowned and said with some worry: "What I am worried about is not that their thoughts are inconsistent with His Majesty, but that some of them have too radical thoughts, which will affect the students and cause far-reaching consequences to the entire Ming Dynasty. Influence! Some professors and teachers are very disgusted and angry with the pacifist trend in society and among students. In many public places and when they are in class, they make fierce remarks that hate pacifists! I even received many Letter of request, please ask your Majesty on their behalf to severely punish those pacifists!"
Yang Peng frowned and thought: "This is not good! It's very bad!" Everyone agreed. Huang Qiaoyun frowned and said: "If this kind of hatred is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will lead to catastrophe sooner or later!"
Yang Peng couldn't help but think of the huge damage caused by religious hatred in the Western world, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Although the current situation within the Ming Dynasty is different from religious hatred, the essence is actually the same. They are all hatred caused by ideological differences. Once this kind of hatred spreads uncontrollably, the damage caused will definitely be no less than a full-scale war, or even more tragic! Yang Peng did not expect that his actions to transform this society would actually result in such ideological opposition. It was really unexpected!
Yang Peng thought to himself: 'Today's thinking is just a bud for you. You must find a way to resolve this confrontation before it develops out of control! The tragedy of religious hatred in the West cannot be allowed to happen in the East! 'As soon as he thought about it, he started to think carefully. He wanted to find a way to solve this problem. When everyone saw Yang Peng thinking about something, they didn't dare to say anything and looked at him.
After a moment, Yang Peng raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said: "Ideological problems must still be solved through education. Since it is the difference between war and peace, then we will publish a book on war and peace. Books should explain the relationship between war and peace thoroughly. Without war, there is no peace. If you avoid the consequences of war, you will only suffer destruction in the end! Only eternal war can maintain eternal peace. The two are actually one. , like yin and yang, like heaven and earth, sun and moon, men and women, are inseparable! It is impossible to only want one of them! While we enjoy the happiness of peace, we must also bear the pain of war suffering!"
Everyone looked thoughtful, feeling that His Majesty had explained things more thoroughly today, which suddenly made some things clear to them that they had not been able to figure out before.
Huang Qiaoyun said: "Brother is right. War and peace are like a person's happiness and suffering. Everyone only wants to be happy and does not want suffering. But how is this possible? Everyone has a responsibility that they must bear. With this Responsibility and pain will follow, and the result of taking responsibility will often bring you happiness. Therefore, happiness and suffering run through everyone's life, and no one is exception! Wishful thinking as long as you are happy, the result will only be greater. Unfortunately! Only those who can endure suffering can have enviable happiness; and for a country, only if it can endure war and get used to war can it have real and long-lasting peace!"
Huang Qiaoyun said: "Without war, there is no peace. On the other hand, without peace, war will become meaningless." Then he said excitedly: "Your Majesty is so insightful! He explained the relationship between war and peace in one sentence. It can't be more thorough!" Everyone agreed.
Yang Peng said: "Your university has several very talented and thoughtful professors. You will take the lead and organize them to compile a book on war and peace. This will help calm the disputes."
Tang Shidian bowed and agreed.
Yang Peng couldn't help but think: 'I don't know if this method will work! People are often stubborn, and I don’t know if a book like this can completely change people’s minds and quell disputes! '
Yang Peng put this worry aside for the time being. All he can do now is to strengthen education. As for what will happen in the future, whether tragedies similar to Western religious hatred will happen in the future, there is no way to control it now.
After calming down, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be reported?"
Chai Yongqi cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have distributed all the weapons from the armory in Sichuan to the civilian armies in accordance with your Majesty's orders. Currently, 400,000 civilian troops are fully armed and are on their way to Dali." Yang Peng nodded. .
Zhang Xiang said with some worry: "His Majesty's decision is naturally extremely wise! It's just that I am stupid and can't help but worry that the militia can play the role we hope!"
Everyone also showed worries. Huang Guang said: "I am also a little worried. Although those civilian soldiers have received military training, they are not soldiers after all, and they have never really fought with the enemy. It is really uneasy to suddenly start a war with a powerful enemy!" Everyone nodded and whispered among themselves. Get up, the place is buzzing.
Yang Peng raised his left hand, and everyone stopped talking and looked at Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about! Our main force in Ming Dynasty is not rich in war experience from the beginning! I believe that the performance of the people's army will not disappoint our expectations! To say the least, even if the people's army really cannot It doesn't matter if we take on a heavy responsibility and suffer a major failure. At least it allows us to understand the combat effectiveness of our reserve forces, which will be good for the future."
Everyone couldn't help but feel admiration in their hearts. They felt that only an unparalleled hero like His Majesty could have such courage.
Chai Yongqi said worriedly: "If the civilian army is defeated miserably, I'm afraid it will endanger General Shi Liancheng!"
Yang Peng nodded, "This point must indeed be considered. Therefore, I have decided to dispatch 100,000 direct army soldiers from Datongfu Road to assist Dali, with Duan Zhixian as the commander-in-chief."
Everyone looked at each other. Huang Guang cupped his fists and said, "Hasn't Your Majesty been on guard against the Liao Kingdom? Now he suddenly mobilized a hundred thousand troops from Datongfu Road to go south. In case the Liao Kingdom..."
Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said: "There is no need to worry, at least for now. The Liao Kingdom is currently conquering Khwarezm and cannot care about anything else for the time being. They will never dare to cause trouble at this time. The army can be mobilized. ." Huang Guang nodded and said: "I forgot about the Liao Kingdom's attack on Khwarezm."
Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Everyone looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objections."
Yang Peng nodded and said: "Okay, it's settled. The cabinet immediately drafted an order and sent it to Yanjing, asking Yang Jiumei to forward it to General Liu Zhiliang." Everyone stood up and agreed in unison.
After the meeting, Yang Peng walked alone in the imperial garden. At this time, the sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, the lake was sparkling, and the scenery was so beautiful. Yang Peng only felt that all his worries disappeared without a trace in an instant. He couldn't help but think of his wives and children far away in Yanjing, and a happy smile appeared on his face. I walked to the lake, sat on a big bluestone, picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. With a splash, the stone fell into the lake, causing ripples in circles. Yang Peng only felt that it was a very happy thing to have his family waiting for him.
Yang Peng felt as if a big stone was pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe. There were soft footsteps behind him. "Husband." A gentle call. Yang Peng turned around and saw Yan Ji standing behind him. He couldn't help but hugged her and buried his head in her arms.
Yan Ji smiled charmingly, thinking that her husband was taking advantage of her again. But when she saw her husband's lonely and sad expression, her heart was shaken. She couldn't help but hold her husband's head gently, and gently stroked her husband's hair with her palms. In an instant, I felt as if my husband had turned into a child, and a feeling of maternal love arose in my heart.
"Husband, are you worried?" Yan Ji asked softly. Yang Peng had already calmed down, raised his head, and blinked at Yan Ji with a smirk on his face. Yan Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that her husband was playing tricks on her, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. However, when I glanced at his eyes, I was surprised to find that there were tears in his eyes, and my heart skipped a beat. She suddenly realized that her husband had a deep concern in his heart.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
