New Shun 1730

Liu Yu's words of "loyalty to the country" made Li Gan a little confused.

It's nonsense to say that there are no people in the world who are selfless and dedicated to the country.

There are countless examples of Zhou Gong Wu Hou to Wu Mu in the Twenty-Three Histories, but Liu Yu's special identity made Li Gan think more.

In theory, Liu Yu had learned Western learning but was not baptized. When he was questioned at Jinshui Bridge that day, he also bit the missionaries hard, saying that they were hiding private matters and had many unfounded and heart-piercing words.

But after the hot air balloon took off and shook the capital that day, the court and the public in the capital knew what Liu Yu had boasted: I, Liu Shouchang, am strong in Western learning, and there are few people in the world who can surpass me. I am particularly strong.

Since the questioning at Jinshui Bridge, Liu Yu has been thinking about learning Western knowledge, contacting Western countries, and integrating China and the West.

Li Gan was wondering if Liu Yu was going to use foreign powers to gain power?

If there is contact with Western countries in the future, it seems that this person must be the one in charge of this matter in the court.

At that time, the closer the contacts with Western countries are, the higher the status of Liu Yu will be.

The pressure of war made Li Gan not averse to foreign exchanges. He also knew that the level of Western countries was not low. He was just worried that a group of people who colluded with foreign countries would appear in the court in the future.

However, this thought flashed through his mind, and Li Gan immediately rejected it himself.

Liu Yu was born as a son of a noble family. He didn't need to take a detour. He just had to go through the Wude Palace normally.

Now that he has this merit and is one of the few noble children who can fight. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in fighting, he has a chance to get to the top. It seems that there is no need to take a detour.

Leaving the flat and ready-made road, he took the rugged path? Unless he is mentally ill.

As for Liu Yu's "loyalty", Li Gan also knows it.

Since the battle of Xinshun and Jingzhou, the theory of protecting the world has become the source of legitimacy for Dashun. As the saying goes, "A gentleman follows the Tao, not Zhou." Liu Yu is loyal to the "world," not necessarily to Li Gan.

Sometimes it seems to be the same thing, but sometimes it is definitely not the same thing. Regarding the difference, Li Gan has received royal education since childhood, and he can probably tell the difference.

For this kind of person, if you say he is a loyal minister, he is also loyal.

As long as your "Tao" is the same as the "Tao" he thinks, he is absolutely loyal, and he is loyal to the point of sacrificing his life for justice.

But if you say it is not.

If he thinks that your "Tao" is not the "Tao" he recognizes, this kind of person will be really like Hai Gangfeng and Wei Wenzhen when he gets angry.

It's okay for me to be alone on the road and go boating on the rivers and lakes. We don't see each other and we don't get annoyed. It's okay to complain a few words. Anyway, it's the legacy of Emperor Taizong of the country, and we won't be punished for our words.

I'm afraid that I will think how can I be alone on the road? I have to make sure that my path is not lonely, so I recited a poem, "I am also good at what I like, even if I die nine times, I will not regret it", and then went to do something big, which is not good.

Li Gan thought, this is a talent, but how to use it, there must be a reason. Now there is something, I can test it.

Seeing that Liu Yu was still kneeling on the ground, Li Gan coughed lightly and said: "Your words need to be discussed again. Since you have said this, I will also test you. You should have seen the Mongolian riders outside the city, and you also know that the leader of the Khalkha tribe is here. Do you know the deep meaning?"

Liu Yu thought, isn't this a louse on a bald head?

After thinking for a long time, he came up with a word that was a bit cultural.

"This is the story of your majesty following Emperor Shun. Holding the pole and dancing, You Miao was dressed."

Li Gan nodded slightly, hummed, thinking that you are well-behaved. If you didn't say this, I would have to slowly pull the words to this sentence. Since you said it, it saved me from going around in circles.

"During Shun's time, You Miao refused to submit, and Yu was going to attack them. Shun said no. So he taught them for three years, and danced with the halberd and the shield, and You Miao finally submitted. When I first read about this, I was puzzled."

"Yu was also a sage, didn't he know about teaching? How come Emperor Shun could think of dancing with the halberd and the shield to make You Miao submit, but Yu couldn't? Later, when I read "The King of Liang Hui", I suddenly understood when I read "It's not that I don't want to do it, but I really can't do it."

"Yu was also a sage, didn't he know about teaching? It's not that I don't want to do it, but I really can't do it. Holding the halberd and the shield is not Yu's forte."

"When it came to When I ascended the throne, there were frequent wars in the northwest and the Russians invaded the south. I tasted a little more. If it were my ancestor Emperor Gaozong, he would have led 100,000 soldiers and reached Tianshan Mountain in one year. "

"In terms of war, I am far inferior to my ancestor. I have a rough understanding of the general situation and cannot compare. Do you think that I will be able to conquer you this time?"

Liu Yu almost blurted out that sentence... Your Majesty can't command soldiers but is good at commanding generals... Seeing that the first word of this sentence had already been spit out, Liu Yu almost bit off his tongue and stopped the rest of the words.

This sentence is not only unlucky, but also taboo.

Although the emperor would not be furious even if he said it at this time, he might be unhappy.

Cold sweat dripped down his face, but his mind was turning quickly. Liu Yu also tasted a little bit of the taste, but he didn't know if the taste he tasted was the taste that the emperor wanted him to taste?

Take a gamble!

He tentatively replied, "Your Majesty, Dayu may not be able to perform the Ganqi dance, but there are ministers who can teach others to perform the Ganqi dance. When You Miao comes again in the future and sees the Ganqi dance still being performed, most of them will think that Dayu can do it, and they will naturally be convinced."

"The country has its own education, so we know that all the land under the sky is the king's land, and all the people are the king's ministers. Your Majesty only needs to rule the country with ease, and the ministers will do their best. Your Majesty only needs to coordinate and make the capable people do their best, and they will all be the merits of the emperor's virtue."

"The Khalkha Mongols are foreign people who do not know how to be educated. They fear power but not virtue. The leaders they choose are not judged by virtue but by martial arts, and they do not know the meaning of ruling the country with ease and everyone doing their job. What foreign people are convinced of is an individual, not the culture and virtue of a country."

"For the people who are outsiders, we cannot use the idea of ​​​​turning inside ministers. Your Majesty should teach them that your Majesty is full of martial virtue. Only after they are convinced can they slowly educate them."

"I'm brave...please ask your Majesty to deploy the formation plan and command on the battlefield. I and others are all staff members and can draw up various plans. I will ask your Majesty to decide on the specific ones."

"In this way, when the city is broken, the people of Khalkha will think that Your Majesty is full of martial virtue and will be convinced of it; the soldiers will also know that Your Majesty has a far-sighted strategy, and they will respect you."

"Your Majesty can also set up a staff department in the future, and the staff will formulate plans for march, logistics, battles, etc. His Majesty's Holy Judgment will select and guide the soldiers. It can also make the frontline soldiers know that your Majesty is good at fighting. The soldiers will all know your majesty's talents and strategies, and know your majesty. I don’t know the general.”

He glanced at the emperor's feet quietly and wondered, are all emperors so tired?

You don't know much about fighting, and you want to be powerful in the military and make them think you are fierce, so why don't you just say so? I have to go around in such a big circle and have the courage to be a minister. Please do this...

I just don’t know if this is what the emperor wants to say after going around in circles for a long time?

Li Gan stared at the back of Liu Yu's head for a few times, thinking that you were on the right track. It seems that he is not the kind to accept death, but he still knows how to adapt.

If you know how to adapt, it will be easier.

But he did not immediately agree with these words, but asked instead: "In the Song Dynasty, the imperial map was often used as a formation, and the soldiers did not dare to cross it, so they were often defeated. How can this be avoided?"

"Back to your majesty, if your majesty comes to the front line in person, you can summon the generals and staff, and the Holy Judgment will decide the tactics. If your majesty does not come to the front line, you will only make strategies, but not the formations, field battles and other front-line affairs. Now that your majesty is on the front line in person, it is natural Want to kiss When preparing for the battle, directing the siege of the city to strengthen the military power. When the soldiers see His Majesty personally ordering the troops in formation, their morale will be high and they will be braver several times. When the city is broken, the soldiers will definitely shout long live the mountains, and the Khalkha Mongolia will also know what His Majesty is capable of. , His heart is convinced.”

Li Gan smiled, this was what he wanted to say.

The original purpose of his personal expedition was to facilitate the direct surrender of the Khalkha Mongols after the war, and the other was to gain prestige in the army.

But the prestige in the first battle was not very good. Li Gan also knew that he weighed a lot, and he couldn't do things like micro-management before battle.

Liu Yu fought well in the east. If Liu Yu was allowed to come up with the idea and pretended to be his command, the effect would definitely be good.

But in this way, Liu Yu's fame in this battle will inevitably be lost. Although thunder, rain, and dew are all divine grace, it is not good to lower your face and let your ministers give you the credit.

Since Liu Yu took the initiative and took the initiative, it was easy.

As for this credit, of course I will keep it in mind.

Although the success of the siege was lost this time, as long as Liu Yu doesn't go out and talk loudly in the future, saying that "I actually commanded the siege of Yuerhai", he can gradually benefit from it in the future.

Seeing that Liu Yu was very wise, Li Gan couldn't agree to the matter directly. He seemed a little impatient, so he could only give in and said, "I saw that you were doing well in the east, but the attack on the city here was frustrated. I thought about sending you over to be the vanguard of the siege, but Duke E and Duke Jing both said that you are still young and the soldiers might not accept it."

Liu Yu kowtowed and said: "What Duke Jing and Duke E said is absolutely true. We are young, just a guard, and have no official status. How can we convince the soldiers on the front line? Although I have a crude strategy, please allow me to do so." As a staff officer, various siege formations are drawn up, and if His Majesty’s Holy Judgment and Holy Words are conveyed to the soldiers, the castle will be captured.”

Li Gan took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, I didn't think carefully before. In that case, you get up. You can take some people to the west to check out the Rakshasa Castle and formulate some siege strategies."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"By the way, what you said about the French military uniforms, please remember not to get too close to the Rakshasa Castle. The French people's skin color and eye color are different from those in China. If you get close, the Rakshasa people will notice the difference. Then the King of Poland Please write it down as soon as possible and send it to the Duke of Qi for negotiation. "

Li Gan said a few nonsense words. Idiots all know that when pretending to be a Westerner, you can't get too close, and you'll be fooled by someone else's face and eyes.

But these two nonsense words made Liu Yu very happy, which meant that Li Gan agreed to his method and no longer needed to discuss the matter. At least this left a gap for the future.

After thinking about it, Liu Yu felt that he had made a big profit.

Originally, my military exploits in the east were enough.

You can't really be a siege vanguard here, and be knighted at the age of seventeen or eighteen?

The votes for those on the east side, fluctuate a bit, are between those of the fourth-grade Qingqi Du Weixun.

Given my age and status, this is already terrifying enough. If I take the normal path of Wude Palace in the future, I will definitely climb much faster than others.

It’s better not to take credit for these votes from the West.

Since the emperor wanted to gain prestige in the military, he should hide it and let him gain it.

It is said that the most difficult thing to repay is the debt of favor. If the emperor owes a favor to someone, he will definitely take care of him more in the future, but his military exploits are even greater than those of those who attacked the city.

If I really don't know how to advance or retreat, even if I finish this battle and conquer the city, I will be granted the title of Viscount at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but it will be difficult for me to leave in the future.

Take a step back now, there is still a long way to go.

On second thought, the emperor should also feel that he had made a profit.

In the future, please pay more attention to others' promotions. Official positions are public assets.

Prestige in the military is the emperor's private property.

How is it appropriate to exchange future public equipment for private property?

Isn’t this a win-win deal?

Thinking about the emperor's question before, Liu Yu secretly took a breath of cold air, thinking that if he said "Your Majesty can't command soldiers but is good at commanding generals" at that time, the emperor might think: Well, then you go command the soldiers, let me see if you can become the Marquis of Huaiyin?

"Fuck, the emperor is really not a good bird." After cursing quietly, Liu Yu quietly turned back and looked at the bright yellow tent, thinking that he should hurry up and do the business. Don't get involved in the court in the future. If you can go out, take the initiative to run out. Playing with the people in the court, you will die without knowing how you died.
