Everyone is attacking me

Similar to the conversations between scholars and common people in teahouses, not only happened in one place, not everyone was in favor of war, but this time the situation was different, the problem of opium had to be resolved. Propaganda has played a role, and basically most of them agree to teach Chenla a lesson.

Emperor Yuan and Qing felt relieved when he heard the news from the marketplace. His efforts to enlighten the people were not in vain. Most of them were still very clear-headed. As for those who were unclear, he automatically filtered them out. La, he still wants to take down all the surrounding countries in the future, won't these people be mad at that time.

For him, apart from the family members of the soldiers who participated in the war are entitled to complain, others have no right to say no to war.

Let’s not mention that every emperor’s ambition is to expand the territory. With the current development trend of the Wei Dynasty, the prosperous age has already begun. Looking at the history, the metropolis will turn into decline after the prosperous age. Even now, he is gradually formulating the The most complete system, and it is implemented seriously, but no one can guarantee that this system can be passed on intact, let alone guarantee that the emperors after him will be as diligent in government and love the people as he is. Once there is a foolish emperor, he may work hard to build it The system will be wiped out.

Or like his grandfather Shenzong, he probably had been emperor for too long, and became unscrupulous and faint in his later years, and no one could control him. If it weren't for the fact that the lower princes had done a lot of practical things in order to win the heir, the court would be supported by several games Come to think of it, maybe Great Wei would not last until now, let alone his turn to be emperor.

Of course, there is also a once-and-for-all solution, that is, to directly reform the system and change it to a constitutional monarchy, so as to solve the problem fundamentally, so that you don't have to worry about the future, and you can even keep the Great Wei forever.

But as a powerful emperor, the Yuan and Qing emperors certainly would not do this, at least at the moment, they have no such idea at all, let alone a democratic society.

Having said that, the prosperous age has come, and it will last for a long time without accidents. At least the Yuan and Qing emperors can guarantee that they will never decline when they are in power.

Prosperity is good, the country is strong, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all nations come to court, but prosperity is easy to breed ease, and under ease is corruption. Once the heart of slack is born, Wen Tianwu plays, the decline is far faster than the prosperity.

Therefore, the Yuan and Qing emperors were more willing to expand their territories while he was alive. Whether it was to use force to occupy the territory, or cultural immigrants invaded and spread the world, it was better than living in a corner with these advanced knowledge.

It is better to draw the eyes of the people to the distance and expand to the whole world than to only see the eyes and only think about playing tricks in the court.

Although he also knows that it is impossible to really bring the whole world into the territory, and it is difficult to even bring the whole of Asia into the territory. Centralize power to the imperial city, unless, as Yuan Pei Huangxiu said, wait for the train tracks to come out and lay all the territory.

Furthermore, as the queen brought out more and more seeds, all kinds of food gradually spread to other countries. I am afraid that sooner or later it will spread all over the world, including the place of origin. The output of the improved product after thousands of years is not the same as today's original product.

Including all kinds of farming tools and books, these are unavoidable to be learned away. With these, other countries will develop rapidly. Although the guns have not yet spread, once a war breaks out in the future, they will always spread, unless you hold back is never used.

If the Great Wei indulged in the prosperous world in front of him, when other countries develop one day, I am afraid that they will repeat the mistakes of the other world.

So in the long run, it is necessary to expand the territory outward.

He also took advantage of this time to give the civil servants a signal of his emphasis on martial arts, to help Liu Yuan support the new learning, and to curb Confucianism before it was distorted to the appearance of the queen's world in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and turn it back to the right way.

Of course it is impossible to kill it, not to mention that it is impossible to kill it completely, and the Yuan and Qing emperors would not really kill Confucianism.

Cliques are not unique to Confucianism. As long as there are people with interests, groups will naturally form. Without Confucian cliques, there will still be cliques of new learning. Unless everyone is literate and sensible, he does not want to see one family dominate until education is fully popularized. , when a family dominates, it will not think about making progress and breed arrogance, and even distort the original doctrine. Confucianism is the best example.

If an opponent is established, the power will be divided and the contradiction will be transferred.

Moreover, although Confucianism is rotten and rigid, it is impossible for him to completely abandon it as long as it helps the great unification.

Doctrine cannot be in power, and doctrine must not be placed above politics, let alone be monopolized by one doctrinal theory.

So what the Yuan and Qing emperors wanted was for Confucianism and New Learning to stand side by side, at least for now.

As for whether it will be merged and reshaped in the future, let’s not talk about it.

Don’t worry about whether suppressing the text and supporting the military in this way will make the military officer powerful. Let’s not say that the military power is mainly in the hands of King Su. The Yuan and Qing emperors had already made military reforms to the Wei army with reference to the modern military system. From class, platoon, company, battalion, regiment to division, the division is detailed and the establishment is clear.

The original supervisory committee was changed to supervisory committee, referred to as the supervisory committee, which is also called the political commissar in modern times. It is equipped with the company and is in the army with the soldiers. The two parties must review together.

Most importantly, the supervisory committee now has an important task - to teach the soldiers to read and write, as well as some skills that can be passed on, so that the soldiers can quickly find a way to make a living after retiring from the army. Nowadays, even farming needs to be carefully studied through the agricultural newspaper.

Of course, various industries are emerging now, just when they need to be young and strong, these veterans will have vacancies to fill as soon as they leave the army, and the imperial court will directly make arrangements according to their performance in the army. Form the rules early, so that these soldiers will have a way to go after the positions are saturated in the future, and it is also done for the common people, so that they can see the various benefits of being a soldier and have no worries.

Another point is that soldiers who can read and understand can better complete the assigned positions after retiring from the army. Whether it is continuing to be an officer as a patrol police traffic policeman or going to Sitong Logistics, etc., it is better than those who cannot read.

Soldiers in the army are discharged every year, and the squads and platoons are reorganized regularly, and the supervisory committee is in command with the soldiers, which greatly reduces the generals' control over the army.

Furthermore, all armies are named according to the numbers one, two, three, and four, which also avoids the rise of the Yang family army and the Zhao family army, and directly cuts off the intention of those who want to support soldiers.

Coupled with the continuous ideological education of patriotism and loyalty by the supervisory committee, why not be afraid.

What's more, the world is peaceful now, the Yuan and Qing emperors are not foolish emperors, and the people are enlightened and will not be easily fooled. No one would want to rebel at every turn.

The remnants of the previous dynasty like Liu He have long since disappeared. When the prosperous age is coming, there is no chance for them to make trouble.

The Yuan and Qing emperors also considered resuming the martial arts exams of the previous dynasty in the future, and added a martial arts class to Chang'an College, or the sports students mentioned by the traversers. Not everyone in this world is smart enough to study, and those who fail the imperial exams can take martial arts. The road to the examination does not have to be for the imperial examination year after year, which delays the future and wastes manpower.

In this way, there will be no need for the supervisory committee to bother teaching the soldiers in the future, and it is impossible to say that the popularization of education depends on martial arts. After all, for ordinary people, it is too expensive to study for the imperial examination, and it is not known when they will be rewarded. However, if you are aiming at martial arts, you only need to strengthen your body and complete the basic studies. Even if you fail the exam, you will be stronger than him physically if you are going to farm.

Of course, this matter is only an idea of ​​the Yuan and Qing emperors for the time being, and it is not a suitable opportunity to implement it now, so we will talk about it later.

The Yuan and Qing emperors acted resolutely on the Chenla incident. After discussing with Yuan Pei and the Taifu, they sent the forbidden army in Beijing to the border to join the border army quickly, and did not give Chenla a chance to defend and react. They directly sent the letter of war, which can be described as extremely strong .

When the newspaper news came out, the army had already arrived at the border. Over the years, the forbidden army often went out for actual combat. Previously, Wu Jing led the troops to travel without arousing suspicion. It was not until the truth came out that everyone came to their senses.

The Yuan and Qing emperors wanted to let the people of the Wei Dynasty, including the surrounding countries, know that the matter was related to opium, and there was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.

Sure enough, Chenla panicked, and the king of Chenla immediately sent envoys to negotiate peace. However, before the envoys entered Beijing, an urgent report came. When it came to the king, he said that it was all due to the king's willful action that made the smoke wantonly. The new king expressed his surrender to the Yuan and Qing emperors, and was willing to continue to worship Wei as the king, and dealt with the rich children who developed the smoke, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the whole country. No smoking.

There is a meaning in the words, hoping to let Chenla survive for the sake of the country.

The emperor of Yuan and Qing sneered and threw it aside. The king of Chenla was not in a daze. I am afraid that this move was deliberately done by him in order to keep Chenla. , so that he can let go.

However, he didn't want to fulfill his wish at all. If he let it go this time, how would the harsh laws on opium be realized before? You must know that the opium is not only spreading to Chenla, Bagan and Cochin has been infected, and it has even spread to Southeast Asian countries.

The King of Jiaozhi was very interested, and after discovering the traces, he sent someone to find out the truth and presented it to the ambassador. This is also because he seconded the study of Wei's ban on smoking early in the morning, so that the big smoke was reported as soon as it appeared in Jiaozhi, otherwise it might become real. Bagan is not in the same situation as Lama. Although Emperor Yuan and Qing will not punish Bagan, they will not send people to help. If Bagan can contain it by itself, that’s all. Take it with Chenla.

Emperor Yuan and Qing rejected the request of the envoys of Chenla with righteous words. While sending them back to China safely, including the Chenla ambassador stationed in Chang'an, he ordered to rush to the border, and the Great Wei and Chenla officially started war.

This battle was almost an overwhelming victory. Wu Jing led the four divisions into the capital of Chenla almost in a straight line. The people of Chenla along the way who had been devastated and persecuted by the opium even welcomed the Wei army into the city.

This shows the role of cultural invasion, as well as the liberalization of business, from daily necessities of life, to newspapers, stage plays, scripts, comics, etc., almost everything is continuously exported to other countries, especially Zhenla is a neighboring country of the Great Wei. The transmission of novelty is easy and fast.

In the eyes of the people of Zhenla, Great Wei is the upper kingdom, with prosperity everywhere, which makes them very envious. Of course, there is also the effect of Wu Jing sending scouts along the road to spread public opinion and rumors. It's important to save your life.

Chenla has a strict hierarchy and strict laws and regulations. The land is controlled by the royal family and nobles. The common people have to pay land rent to cultivate it.

Wu Jing marched smoothly, but Bagan was scared out of his wits. While hurriedly curbing the spread of the smoke in the country, he quickly sent envoys to plead guilty. The king of Bagan showed his sincerity, and the leader of the envoy was a prince, who said that he yearned for a big country. Feng Fan came to study along the way, but he was actually taken as a hostage, and Emperor Yuan and Qing were not polite and let people stay.

Seeing this situation, other countries fell silent, even the Xiongnu, who were originally strong against the three kingdoms of Wei and Liao, remained silent.

And while the First World War in Chenla was going on smoothly, there was finally movement from the Liao Kingdom.
