"Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Seeing Wang Chengen agree to stay, Zhu Youjian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
3,000 imperial guards went to the grassland. , Zhu Youjian is indeed not afraid, but as the book says, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected.
According to the reality of the intelligence, only a little over 10,000 rebels can be taken alive. This number of people is not enough to fill the gap between the three thousand guards of our own. But what if the other party has someone hidden?
What if the opponent brings reinforcements from Khalkha?
When the time comes to bring these people with me, how will I explain the soldiers who appear out of thin air? ,
Although Zhu Youjian has ordered his house to be raided and killed many times, Zhu Youjian does not want to get used to this.
In the palace, Zhu Youjian often significantly lowered his living standards.
In the eyes of others, it is because of his diligence and frugality. In the eyes of others, he is particularly generous to soldiers and victims. In the hearts of ordinary people, he has established an image of a wise king who cares about the people.
But only Zhu Youjian knew that he was worried about getting used to a corrupt life. In the end, he became a foolish king and was dragged out and beheaded by people. He will be infamy for thousands of years.
People change, and many times they become something they hate.
Zhu Youjian knew that he was not a will-judgment guy, so Zhu Youjian didn't give them a chance to corrupt him with many things.
"The army goes out." After appeasing Wang Chengen, Zhu Youjian set off directly to Xifengkou.
Two days later, Zhu Youjian's army successfully reached Xifengkou.
After resting for one night at Xifengkou Pass, the army went straight out of the pass.
Looking at the Great Wall erected behind him, Zhu Youjian felt mixed feelings.
It is undeniable that the Great Wall, which took countless manpower and material resources to build, does protect the people. Reduce the financial pressure on the country.
But it also made the Han people lose their sense of worry, which accelerated the collapse of the dynasty from the side.
Ordinary people and dynastic rulers always hope that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.
There is nothing wrong with that. But they did forget that the nature of the world is that of the weak and the strong.
The rules of the world are also made by the strong.
Long periods of stability always bring comfort. The powerful lion also slowly declined after becoming comfortable.
The long-term comfort also made those officials feel. It is their credit that the country is so stable.
Then corruption began to run rampant, and he reached into the army, just to become a slave to the country's subjugation as soon as possible.
A comfortable and happy life can make people slack and lead to death. For big countries, this is the truth.
"It is better to keep the Great Wall, but the rulers must be stricter to ensure the purity of the ruling class. At the same time, most military and political ministers must have a sense of danger. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty last.
The kind and hard-working Han people will no longer be slaughtered and will not encounter that kind of tragedy again. "
Looking at the Great Wall getting further away, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but sigh.
A great man in later generations once said, "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a true man."
Zhu Youjian has been to the Great Wall, but what he saw was mostly mountains of people.
Zhu Youjian didn't understand what the great man meant either.
Until now. Only then did Zhu Youjian understand a little bit of the meaning.
The Great Wall mentioned by great men is more than just the broken eaves and broken walls.
It also refers to the new Great Wall built with the flesh and blood of countless martyrs.
If you don't understand what the martyrs thought, thought, read, and hoped for, it is impossible to truly understand the meaning of the great man.
