Such a loud tone, actually treating the Hu Bing who occupied half of Dasong as a group of uncivilized rabble. The more Ma Hanshan despised the Hu Bing, the more embarrassed and sad Long Guangning became. The Hu Bing, who even a big child looked down upon, treated the Hu Bing as an uncivilized mob.
Song was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back. This... this was simply humiliating.
But knowing shame and then being brave, Long Guangning was indeed the most thoughtful and solid emperor in a hundred years. Therefore, he blushed and felt ashamed for a moment, and his inner persistence became stronger.
"Master Kanshan, the Hulu have strong soldiers and horses, chain-linked iron armor, and sharp guns and knives. Are they really that unbearable? Why are they like paper beards in the mouth of the master? Although, I agree with the saying that you should not let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige.
But we can't just keep talking." Long Guangning collected his thoughts and officially entered the "asking" state.
Does the emperor need to ask? Of course, he is not really the Son of Heaven. Even if he is the Son of Heaven, he is not omnipotent.
The attitude has finally been corrected. This is an emperor who has made progress. Long Guangning changed his attitude towards discussion. Ma Hanshan was very happy. He was willing to communicate with the emperor with such an attitude.
"Your Majesty, can I speak freely? If I speak fiercely, you won't arrest me and destroy the nine tribes." Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"I have said before, I am not the emperor at this moment, we are friends." Long Guangning said seriously.
"Haha, it seems from your words that you are just talking. You can't even change who you are. Can you put down your dignity and discuss it as friends?" Ma Hanshan paused and said, "Your Majesty, do you know,
In fact, your posture and mentality are very important. Whether a group, an organization, or a country is strong, the posture and mentality of its top leader are very important. It is one of the conditions for strength and one of the conditions for victory. Please think about it, Your Majesty,
The emperors in the past dynasties were called Mingjun. What impact did their changes in posture and mentality have on the country?"
Although Ma Hanshan is unruly, he still can't treat Long Guangning as a friend. He believes that only a fool looking for death will really treat the emperor and the bitch as friends. The emperor is the supreme leader of a country, and he
Maybe he wants to be friends with someone, but state affairs, personnel affairs and national interests often do not allow him to do so. In other words, the emperor is actually a person without "freedom". Many times he is forced to do things against his will.
.And the bitch is ruthless, how can we be friends?
Long Guangning was silent and no one would be in a good mood if he was criticized. He was asking himself, could he really not let go of his posture and mentality?
Ma Hanshan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, whether it is a country or a group, to defeat another country or group, will, people's hearts, and means are indispensable. The reason why I say that the Donghu soldiers are a ragtag group of paper is because they only have
Means, their will is not strong, and people's hearts, they are simply unpopular. The so-called means are what the emperor said about the tall horse, the iron armor, the sharp swords and guns, the powerful combat power, etc. Their means are indeed good, but the means are
The last of the three elements of war."
"People's hearts, that is, people's hearts, they don't even have a little bit of people's hearts. Before they got the territory of Dasong, they might have had a little bit of people's hearts, but after they invaded so many citizens of Dasong, those little bits of people's hearts were diluted and gone. As for
They have never had national will, because their national consciousness is very weak. In fact, at the beginning, they just wanted to run to Dasong to grab some food for the winter. But why did it become like this? Then
It’s because Dasong indulges them, it’s Dasong who makes them strong, Dasong makes their national power bigger, and fattens their ambitions…”
Ma Hanshan attributed everything to Da Song. In a word, Da Song deserved it because Da Song had made his enemies bigger and stronger.
Why? Because of Dasong’s national policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs, the people of Dasong have lost their bones. The military people have learned to accept the situation and quietly enjoy it when they are pushed down and forced into the country. It is strange that such a country is not invaded.
"So, it's all Da Song's fault?" Long Guangning gasped slightly.
Ma Hanshan blamed Da Song for everything, and he was very unconvinced.
"Your Majesty, is it Da Song's fault? Let's talk about it later. Let me talk about the three prerequisites. Don't you want to know why the villagers can defeat Hu Bing? Let me tell you, because there is no shortage of villagers in Wagang Village.
There is no shortage of will, people's hearts, and means, so it is easy to defeat many with less, and one hundred peasants captured more than two hundred Hu soldiers alive." Ma Hanshan said it now with great pride, but in fact he himself did not know whether he could succeed at that time.
of.
However, the actual situation is that the combat effectiveness of the militiamen exceeded his expectations, but the strength of the more than two hundred fake Hu soldiers did not meet his expectations.
Speaking of these two hundred fake Hu soldiers, what makes him most proud now is not that he caught these fake Hu soldiers as laborers, but that Dong Hu actually had to swallow his anger and admit it while holding his heart-breaking chest under his public opinion offensive.
These two hundred or so fake Hu soldiers are Hu soldiers.
Long Guangning waved his hand angrily, asking Ma Hanshan to continue.
Ma Hanshan took out a new pipe, lit one while Long Guangning was astonished, took two puffs, exhaled the smoke and said slowly: "Hu Bing, they are here to plunder. They don't have the will to fight to the death. Not only the officers, but also the soldiers
No. Those who don’t want to die meet the villagers of Wagang Village who are not afraid of death. Can they win?"
"Wagonzhai was originally a large place dedicated to making tile jars and urns. It was abandoned after the war started. Some villagers who had no place to go could only stay there half-dead. At that time, no one knew that there was a
No one knew that there was still a group of half-dead people there in Wagang Village. After the village earned a little money from tea and drunk fairy wine and lived a good life, some people started to care about it, including some people from Dasong.
Of course, the Hu people north of Dushui are even more jealous. So what should the people in Wagangzhai do? Are they allowed to be slaughtered by others? Absolutely not, because this is the basis of their survival."
"Your Majesty, even if you lose your life, you must protect Wagang Village. This is the will of all the people of Wagang Village. In other words, whoever wants to take Wagang Village must kill everyone in the village. Your Majesty
, Think about it, Da Song, does he have such a will?" Ma Hanshan looked at Long Guangning with a very contemptuous look. This look made Long Guangning want to kill someone, how could he just poke others where they hurt.
The will of the state, in feudal society, was actually the will of the emperor.
Does the emperor of Dasong have the will to fight to the death? Long Guangning did not lose half of the country, but he knows that even if it were him, he would not have the will to fight to the death. Why bother to continue to be emperor when he can cede territory for peace and rule across the river?
A gamble to die? What if you really die?
It hurts. Emperor Taizu founded the country with such will. At that time, from king to ministers, from generals to soldiers, everyone was determined to die. It was also because of this that the country of Dasong was established.
"What is the people's heart? The people's heart? Is the people's heart the will?" Long Guangning asked after a moment of silence.
"Strictly speaking, no. But it can also be said that the unified thought of the whole people can be the biggest model of the country's will." Ma Hanshan paused and said, "Let's take Wagang Village as an example. Wagang Village has will.
They fought to the death with the Hu soldiers. And the people in Wagang Village were all united. A father was not afraid of his son's death, and his wife was not worried about her husband's death, because everyone knew that if the village was gone, how would the sons and husbands survive?
Go down? Therefore, everyone in the whole village has only one idea in mind, which is to protect the village from being invaded, so everyone in the village consciously has the ability to contribute money... Your Majesty, if everyone in the whole village supports it in their hearts
What a powerful force it is to support the idea of fighting the barbarians to the death. But first, the country must have the will to fight to the death."
Long Guangning was silent again. Not to mention the whole people, even the civil and military giants in the court could not get them to concentrate.
Alas, have you and many other former emperors failed too much?
Suddenly, Long Guangning's mood dropped.
"The emperor's mood is not very high." Ma Hanshan likes to poke others' pain the most, and he does the same when facing the emperor.
"Alas, Master Kanshan, according to what you say, even if I fight to the death, I still can't regain my Dasong River and Mountain. How can there be thousands of people with thousands of hearts, how can they all have the same thoughts?
"Long Guangning sighed.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the most difficult thing is not the human heart. Why do I rank the will of the country first? Because the will of the country is the most rare. Under the current system, the will of the country is the will of the emperor. I dare to ask, the emperor is useful
Do you want to use your life to win the will to regain the rivers and mountains? Your Majesty, think carefully before answering, you have a lot of civil and military officials below you, especially those who are leaders and surrenderers..." Ma Hanshan said lightly.
Thinking of the surrendering civil servants, the Shi Liyuan Group, and the rotten scholars who always regarded Hangzhou as Bianzhou, Long Guangning let out a long sigh and stopped talking.
"Could it be that my Dasong's recovery is really hopeless?" Long Guangning said after a moment of silence.
"Of course there is, how could it not be? As long as the emperor is determined, there will be." Ma Hanshan said with great certainty.
"But those people..." Long Guangning knew very well that the current situation was not his problem, but the hidden dangers planted by Dasong since the founding of the country. Some reasons were problems for thousands of years.
"Reform, only reform can make Dasong rich and strong. Dasong is strong enough. Let alone regaining half of the country, it is not difficult to recover Dali, Xixia and other places, and restore the territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Ma Hanshan watched Long Guangning sink.
said the voice.
If the country is strong enough, it will certainly not be difficult to regain its territory.
But what is difficult is reform, and what is difficult is becoming strong. Whether it is reform or strengthening the country, it is not about sitting down and talking about it clearly in three or five sentences. It is about formulating a feasible strategy and then really working hard.
"Really? Master Kanshan, are you telling the truth?" Long Guangning suddenly became passionate again, his eyes shining.
"Everything is actually true. The key lies with the emperor, because reform is easy to say but too difficult to do. The road is full of thorns and bloody storms. If you want the country to be rich and powerful, you must be tenacious and have endurance.
"Your Majesty, it's not that easy." Ma Hanshan poured a cup of tea for Long Guangning and said, "Come, Your Majesty, let's have some tea and talk about romance..."
"No, I won't talk about Fengyue. Master Kanshan, please quickly tell me how to change the method." Long Guangning shouted excitedly, startling Dong Qian who was far away in the corridor, and used a move of swallowing water three times.
The extremely light-handed "fly" came over to check. This chapter has been completed!
