It should be noted that the nearly one million soldiers are not just themselves.
They also have their own families, their own wives, children, and children.
If I really agree with them to act like this, it will cause too many problems later.
Let’s not talk about the pensions for the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. Just settling the family members of the fallen soldiers is a big problem.
Based on the current situation of the Dalong court, it wants to thoroughly deal with a series of problems after hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed in battle.
It will take at least two to three years.
The time of about two to three years is long or short.
However, for the wives, children and children of the fallen soldiers, this time is too long.
As time goes by, it means that there will be many changes.
During this period, it would be fine if nothing happens.
However, once something unexpected happens, it will be a big problem that cannot be underestimated.
At that time, even if he personally comes forward to announce the decree to the world and appease the people's hearts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle everything perfectly at once.
After all, after doing this, too many soldiers were killed at once.
That's not thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of thousands.
There are simply too many people like this.
There are so many that even I, the horse-riding emperor, can hardly afford such a price.
These problems are only one aspect of the problem.
Liu Mingzhi looked dimly at the wall in front of him, silently lit a pot of tobacco, puffed out smoke with a frown on his face.
Apart from the first question, in addition, I had already told Zhang Kuang just now.
If you do this, you will make too much noise.
It's so big that it can't be concealed from people's eyes and ears, and it can't be covered up anymore.
At that time, a false statement about the imperial edict will be completely unable to convince the public.
Such excuses are just deceiving those stupid people.
A slightly smarter person, as long as he uses his brain to think about it, it is not difficult to guess that the person who really made this decision is himself, the current emperor.
Especially the civil and military officials above the court, who are able to rank in the second class above the court, all of them are not bright-sighted people.
The most important ones are the elders of several dynasties who hold great power, those old foxes who have matured into mature individuals.
They often open and shut in front of themselves that the old minister is stupid, the old minister is stupid, the old minister is like this, the old minister is like that, the old minister is like this.
The truth is, none of them are really stupid or stupid, they are just pretending to be confused while pretending to understand.
I was also a minister back then, and I also walked through the ranks of ministers step by step. Naturally, I know all about the details here.
Therefore, I am just too lazy to expose them.
In other words, everyone is tacitly understanding it.
The common people don't know what their prestige is in the army, but they are very clear about what kind of level their prestige in the army has reached.
Based on their understanding of the personalities of Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Yunchong, their decades-old colleagues, wouldn’t they know what kind of person Zhang Kuang and the others are?
They must have thought that if they hadn't personally given the order, arrogant, Nangong Ye and the others would not have dared to do such a thing, even if they had eaten the courage of others.
After all, this is not a matter of one person, but a matter of wealth and life of the nine clans.
When the time comes, if I punish Zhang Kuang, what about Nangong Ye and his nine tribes? Or should I not punish them?
If it's a punishment, it will most likely chill people's hearts.
On the contrary, if you don't do anything, wouldn't you be telling everyone that you are the real person behind this mass murder?
Punishment is difficult.
It's also difficult without punishment.
Therefore, an excuse to pretend to preach an imperial edict cannot hide it from truly smart people.
After the matter came to an end, the other civil and military officials above the court thought so in their minds, let's not talk about it for the time being.
Mr. Xia Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet and the imperial censor, Mr. Ming Xia, is a stubborn old donkey.
This old man has criticized his father Li Zheng, his brother Li Baiyu, and this kid Li Ye.
Nowadays, I am just as quick to criticize myself and make myself feel unhappy.
The key is, what others say is reasonable and well-founded, but you can't refute it.
The most important thing is that this old man is really not afraid of death.
What can you do to a person who is not even afraid of death?
Could it be that you can really kill him?
If he was serious, he would hold a pen and write on the history books.
When the time comes, isn't it obvious whether Zhang Kuang and the others are following the emperor's orders or falsely spreading the imperial edict?
One more thing.
Major generals such as Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, and Wanyan Chizha took everything for granted.
At the same time, I thought it was too simple.
As the saying goes, if you move a tree, you will die, but if you move a person, you will live.
You know, people are not trees buried deep in the soil, people can run away.
When they face danger, they will not just wait for death, but will run away.
It is precisely because of this that in the future, when Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye and the others continue to march westward to use troops, the defenders and horses of the kingdoms further west, as well as the people, will definitely not wait to die in vain when they know they are losing.
.
For example, royal family members and dignitaries from various countries' courts. When these people see that the situation is not good, they will immediately abandon the city and flee.
Then there are the generals from various countries and the soldiers and horses guarding the city.
Then, there are the people of all countries.
When things got serious enough, they wouldn't even wait for the soldiers of the Western Expedition to attack the city.
As soon as they heard the news, they probably had already dragged their families and left for a foreign country.
To the west, some people can leave by sea ship.
To the south, there is a vast and boundless world
To the north, there is also a vast and boundless world.
By then, there will be too many places for them to escape and survive.
With the 700,000 to 800,000 troops on Dalong's side, how could they possibly block all escape routes?
A million elite troops are indeed an irresistible behemoth for a city and a country.
However, for all the territories of Western countries, it becomes not worth mentioning.
Under such circumstances, even if the soldiers died of exhaustion, it was impossible to stop everyone from escaping together.
You know, for those who are running for their lives, their survival instinct will make them unleash their unlimited potential.
I can't stop it, I can't stop it.
After Liu Mingzhi thought about these questions, all his ideas came to mind instantly.
All kinds of problems taken together show that the ideas of Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha and others are not feasible.
Sure, these people have good ideas.
Regarding this, I do not deny it.
Unfortunately.
It's a pity that I still have the same idea as before.
That's because Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Yunchong, and Hu Yanyu took everything too naturally and too simply.
If you want to completely capture a vast territory, how can it be solved by simply killing?
A century-old plan must be implemented step by step and slowly.
After Liu Mingzhi thought through all the problems, he immediately made up his mind.
No matter what, I cannot agree with the crazy idea of Zhang Kuang and the others.
Otherwise, let alone completely capture this territory.
On the contrary, it may be counterproductive.
As a result, all of my previous efforts and layouts will be in vain.
The achievements that the soldiers have worked hard for several years among the countries in the far west will fall apart in an instant.
It's not feasible, it's not feasible.
Zhang Kuang looked at Young Master Liu who had a gloomy face and was silently smoking a cigarette. He hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to signal to Young Master Liu.
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Kuang shouted three times in a row, each one louder than the other.
Especially the last word "Your Majesty" was specially emphasized.
Liu Mingzhi immediately came to his senses from his thoughts and subconsciously turned around and looked at Zhang Kuang.
"Ah? Ah! Uncle, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Zhang Kuang shook his head without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to fan the light smoke in front of him, looked at Zhang Kuang and shook his head with a chuckle.
"Uncle, it's okay, it's okay, I just thought about something."
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Mingzhi bent down directly and knocked out the shredded tobacco that was still smoking lightly from the bottom of his feet.
Then, he straightened up and stretched with a tired look.
"Uncle, where did we just talk?"
"Back to Your Majesty, we just talked about what will happen if you agree with the ideas of Lao Chen and others."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, turned around and walked towards the corner where Qi Yun, the third princess, and the queen were.
Crazy, Song Qing and others saw this situation and set off again to follow.
At this time, Qi Yun, Qing Lian, Murong Shan, and Xue Bizhu were walking around diagonally opposite, talking and laughing.
While the group of them were chatting and laughing, they would turn around from time to time to observe the situation on Young Master Liu's side.
It can be seen from this that they are deliberately avoiding the positions of Liu Dashao, Zhang Kuang, Song Qing, and Liu Song.
Liu Mingzhi walked around leisurely, taking a sip of wine happily to soothe his slightly bitter throat.
"uncle."
"The old minister is here."
"Uncle, I don't agree with this matter of using the butcher's knife.
You, just give up this idea completely.
Then, when you go back and meet Uncle Nangong, uncle and the others, tell them a few things by the way.
Let a few of them give up this idea completely.
From now on, you are not allowed to mention such thoughts in front of this young master."
Hearing Mr. Liu's explanation, Zhang Kuang's face turned anxious and he quickly quickened his pace.
"Your Majesty, ministers, etc..."
As soon as Zhang Kuang opened his mouth, Young Master Liu waved his hand directly.
"Stop, stop, stop, uncle, you don't need to reason with me.
You have your thoughts on this issue.
Similarly, I also have my own considerations, young master.
As for what I think about this young master, for the moment, I have no way to explain it to you.
After I have sorted out all my ideas, I will summon you to come over and explain the specific reasons to you in detail.
At the same time, I will also carefully explain to you the pros and cons."
Listening to Young Master Liu's decisive tone, Zhang Kuang pursed his lips a few times and nodded helplessly.
"Okay, I understand, veteran.
After I return, I will immediately go to meet Brother Nangong, Brother Wanyan, Brother Yun and others, and inform them of your intentions."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the arrogant answer, he chuckled and nodded.
"Very good, so good."
However, when he saw the slightly helpless expression on Zhang Kuang's face, he instinctively frowned.
"Uncle, you seem a little unhappy about my decision, young master."
Zhang Kuang's expression tightened and he waved his hand hurriedly.
"I don't dare, I don't dare."
"Don't you dare?"
"Your Majesty, that's right."
Seeing Zhang Kuang's somewhat nervous face, Liu Mingzhi fell silent with a sigh of relief.
After a while.
Liu Mingzhi raised the wine bag and took a sip of wine, then looked at Zhang Kuang and let out a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, we can get along with each other just like before.
So, you don't need to be so nervous at all.
We, uncle and nephew, have known each other for decades.
Uncle, you know what kind of person I, Liu Mingzhi, am, and uncle, I also know what kind of person you are.
You know clearly what my character is like, and I know your character clearly as well.
In fact, the two of us can get along very happily.
No, no, it should be said that it’s not just you, uncle, but also Uncle Nangong, uncle, Wanyan Comfortable, Senior Yale, and Brother Huyan, we can all get along very happily.
You should know that as long as you don't make mistakes, I will never care about anything.
Brother, he knows this best."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he happily turned to look at Song Qing.
"Brother, brother, I'm not talking nonsense, am I?"
Seeing Young Master Liu suddenly asking him a question, Song Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
"Hehehe, yes, yes, no nonsense, no nonsense."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhang Kuang with a smile.
"Uncle, you heard what eldest brother said.
If we really want to talk about it, the relationship between your uncle and nephew is much closer than the relationship between our uncle and nephew.
Therefore, if you don’t believe what I say, young master, you should believe what elder brother says, right?”
Zhang Kuang looked at Young Master Liu, then turned to look at Song Qing, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Your Majesty, I don't have this intention. I don't have this intention."
"Uncle, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not, I just hope you understand.
The relationship between us will not become weaker because of time.
It won't make me feel unfamiliar just because I sit in that position.
Back then, from the day I sat in that position, I already told you.
Above the court, we have a way of getting along with each other above the court.
In private, we have a way of getting along with each other in private.
Now that I have said this, young master, I will never change it."
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."
"uncle."
"The old minister is here."
"If you don't support me anymore, you don't recognize me anymore.
