Su Yonglin attached great importance to Xu Tong's suggestion.
He has always believed that Xu Tong was one of the few senior military generals who came through the war years who truly had political talent and long-term vision. He was a rare genius.
He observed this phenomenon earlier than other generals in the army and even the secretaries and instructors who were more professional in political work.
That is to say, the new generation of people are generally more intolerant of the suffering during the war.
People all pursue beauty. After living a good life, they naturally regard a good life as the foundation, and then pursue a better life from there.
Generation after generation of people living in peaceful times are always more willing to pursue a better life, their definition of happiness is constantly upgrading, and they refuse to return to the original version, viewing it as a complete regression and a huge failure of the government. They have a strong sense of this. of disgust.
This is human nature.
It was after Su Yonglin observed this that he realized that the Ming Dynasty could not maintain a state of action or even a super-doubled state of action for a long time. It must build a normalized society of inaction and turn the state of action into a wartime state. Not enabled.
The damage caused by the wartime state to people's living conditions in peacetime must be extremely huge and difficult to repair.
Depending on the length of the war and the depth of the country, it is more likely that it will be permanently irreparable, or even return to the rationing system of living materials.
That would be terrible.
The destruction of people's hearts will be very serious, it will greatly affect the foundation of the regime, and may even cause internal unrest. There are countless cases of backyard fires in the world during wars. The fundamental reason is that war has too much impact on life. It’s getting too big, and people can’t bear it anymore.
Therefore, the state of action cannot be activated easily. Even if it is activated, it must be a partially limited state of action. If you can maintain the state of inaction, you must try your best to maintain it.
In other words, use force cautiously, and do not use force lightly until peace is finally desperate.
It needs to be known that the more the times develop, the more science and technology advances, the higher the level of knowledge of the people, the less easily they will be dominated by the government. Whatever the upper-level government figures want to do, they will increasingly need to pay high action costs.
In fact, they all understand that no matter how vocally they support the war, there is a high probability that they will become anti-war opponents when the state of war comes to them.
People who have not experienced the war years cannot truly understand what it means to "better to be a dog of prosperity than to be a man of chaos".
Now, relying on the superior distribution system brought about by the revolution, the Ming Dynasty can curb the public's resentment against the promising state to a considerable extent, and can even make the people understand and support the promising state through propaganda, but this will never last long.
If you think this situation can last forever, something will happen when the next generation of people born in peacetime become the mainstream of society.
After receiving Xu Tong's report, Su Yonglin was very happy. He praised Xu Tong's political vision and his dedication to serving the country and the people, saying that he could just stand still and do his best to solve the current internal military rebellion in Dali.
For political issues, he will send people to solve them. For diplomatic issues, a professional team will arrive in Dali to have formal exchanges with the Kingdom of Bagan, striving to connect with the Kingdom of Bagan and build a more friendly diplomatic and bilateral relationship, so that everyone can do business together. make money.
Then it’s okay to develop a branch of the Renaissance Society or something along the way, right?
As for the Chenla Kingdom in the south, which is the Angkor Dynasty, in fact, Xu Tong really doesn't need to care much. Xu Tong only needs to arrange the army to control the transportation arteries, and he doesn't need to care about anything else.
Because the Chenla Kingdom, like the Ming Kingdom, the focus of attention at this moment should be on the Champa Kingdom.
Yes, the international situation is changing at a jaw-dropping pace.
The day before Su Yonglin received the battle report of Xu Tong's victory, Zhang Yuejing, who was stationed in Guangxi Province and under the direct jurisdiction of Annanzhong, and Prime Minister Cheng Gaotianlu of Annanzhong, jointly sent a report saying that some minor things had happened in the Champa Kingdom. They wanted to Ask Su Yonglin if he needs to intervene.
In short, the civil war in the Champa state broke out and the Champa Revolution began.
To put it bluntly, this little incident was actually a traitor when the young comrades of the Champa State Revival Association branch were making intensive preparations to train the new army to kill Zou Yana.
The traitor's name is Yahai, the son of a close attendant of Zou Yana's subordinates, and a member of the military department of the Champa State Revival Association branch.
The reason for his betrayal was also very simple - his father had been promoted.
Zou Yana valued the new army very much and had very high expectations for the march, so she not only sent people to supervise the training of the new army, but also seriously planned to train the march to become her die-hard loyalist.
So he spared no effort to win over the new army officers.
He entrusted an important task to someone who had something to do with him in the first place.
For example, Cha Quan, leader of the New Army and director of the branch of the Champa State Revival Association, was his nephew. He valued this nephew very much and asked his nephew to lead the New Army as his escort army for inspections when he went out for inspections. The right to enter and exit the palace freely.
As for those who have no direct relationship with themselves, then they can offer various benefits to their family elders or peers with lucrative or higher-status positions, so that they can benefit and become vested interests, and sincerely serve them. He works hard.
Not to mention, this trick was really effective at first, and some members of the Champa State Revival Association branch were shaken in their thinking.
They enjoyed abundant material rations, and thus mentally felt that Zou Yana was not a heinous bastard. Perhaps they could adopt new and gentler methods to resolve the domestic conflicts in Champa State.
Cha Quan was firm-minded and criticized the gradually rising reformist ideas. He quoted Su Yonglin's theory of revolution to the end to refute this idea and held many meetings to demand unification of ideas.
Of course, the results were not very good.
After all, Zou Yana gave them real money in order to bribe them.
Since ancient times, apart from doctrinal beliefs, real money and silver have been the most touching things.
As a result, moderate reformist ideas gradually spread within the Champa State Revival Association branch. Everyone felt that Zou Yana was not so heinous. At least he treated them very well, with the highest level of military pay, the highest level of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Fragrant.
As the saying goes, people use money to eliminate disasters. We have received such great favor from him, but we want to fight back. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?
Cha Quan felt worried about this.
But when she saw that the moderate reformists were about to compete with the revolutionaries, Zou Yana made a cunning move on her own.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty's rule in South Vietnam was becoming more and more stable, but the war within Chenla Kingdom was still lingering, he felt that his opportunity was about to come.
In order to prepare for the war against Zhenla Kingdom, Zou Yana took a fancy to the high-quality weapons of the Ming Kingdom. However, the high-quality weapons of the Ming Kingdom were not cheap. In order to buy more weapons of the Ming Kingdom, he had to pay a high price.
The Ming Dynasty did not accept his free-for-all deception. They had to pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the same hand. They did not accept any loans or credit, and they had to pay in cash.
After all, his feat of plundering the Dashi Kingdom merchant ship to borrow flowers and offer flowers to the Buddha was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one believed him anymore.
Zou Yana was reluctant to give up her own property, and was unable to get money from other powerful people. She could only pick weak targets and announced a tax increase on domestic farmers, handicraftsmen and small businessmen.
The Champa State was not a big country with a small population. It relied on relatively superior climatic conditions and geographical location, as well as three crops of rice a year. Although oppression and exploitation were very heavy, the people could barely get enough to eat.
But with tax increases, the problem changes.
