Han Shizu

Chapter 1903 Countermeasures
"You are the first minister I have summoned alone these days, do you know why?" Emperor Liu asked Guo Liangping silently thinking about it.

Without hesitation, Guo Liangping clasped his fists in response and said, "I respectfully listen to your Majesty's hadith!"

"The matter of enfeoffment is raging and raging, you must have heard of it!" Emperor Liu asked again.

"Yes!" Guo Liangping thought immediately when he heard the words, and nodded in response.

"I heard that you had a dispute with Pan Mei and the others because of this matter!" When mentioning this matter, Emperor Liu's tone was already somewhat severe.

Sensing the change in Emperor Liu's tone, Guo Liangping was slightly startled, and bowed his head and replied: "I agree with your Majesty's proposition, but Privy Secretary Pan and others seem to disagree, and hesitated, so there were some emotional disputes."

"It's just a battle of spirits? Not necessarily!" Emperor Liu picked up a few memorials on the imperial case, threw them away, and said coldly: "I have received a lot of impeachments against you, and I want to hear them." How is it described?"

As he said that, before Guo Liangping could answer, Emperor Liu said again: "Pride comes from being favored, taking credit for pride, despising superiors, and disrespecting seniors! I believe that there are some exaggerated words in these reports, but they can make so many people rise up. Gong, respond to me, you, Guo Liangping, are quite capable!"

Emperor Liu's obvious sarcasm was like pouring cold water on Guo Liangping. He couldn't stand up, let alone sit down. He knelt down and pleaded guilty with a face full of fear: "I am arrogant and ignorant. , I implore Your Majesty to forgive me!"

Looking at Guo Liangping who was lying in front of him to plead guilty and made a look of sincerity and fear, Emperor Liu didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart. He put pressure on him with silence, and only spoke again when he couldn't bear it anymore.

Emperor Liu summoned Guo Liangping, of course, not just because of the disputes within the Privy Council. Those conflicts were serious, but if Emperor Liu didn't care, it would be worthless.

The reason why he gave such a big reprimand was just to beat this person up, and Guo Liangping really didn't deserve it.Looking at the increasingly uneasy Guo Liangping, Emperor Liu rolled up his sleeves and said slowly: "I am very pleased that you can agree with my proposal of enfeoffment! However, if it is only verbal support, it is too cheap and impractical. To be used as a means to attack political opponents in order to achieve ulterior motives is to be condemned!"

This was the first time that Emperor Liu showed his jealousy to a courtier without restraint. Guo Liangping was dripping with cold sweat and couldn't straighten his waist at all, so he could only accept the hadith in a humble posture.

"Chenchen." Guo Liangping doesn't speak eloquently, but his logical thinking is always clear on weekdays. Otherwise, in the daily work of the Privy Council, he would not be arguing, but messing around. But at this time, his mind is in chaos and he doesn't know what to do. good.

"Okay!" Emperor Liu didn't care about his reaction, waved his hand and said: "I won't talk nonsense, when Haikou was already boasting when I was entrusted, I must do it, and I must do it, otherwise, I will do this Where to put Zhang's old face, don't you think?"

Emperor Liu asked this question, it was really embarrassing, the answer was inappropriate, and the answer was no, it was even more inappropriate, so Guo Liangping simply said: "I have nothing else to say, please issue an edict, but you have an order, and you can obey everything!"

Seeing Guo Liangping's statement, Emperor Liu finally smiled, moved his buttocks, and the atmosphere of the conversation finally eased up. He pointed to the "Picture of Enfeoffment" that was also hung on the side of the hall, and said, "You don't need to worry about other places. But in Nanyang, you have the most right to speak in the imperial court! Over the years, part of the pioneering achievements of the great man in the south has been obtained under your leadership, and the rest is also under the support and protection of the Navy."

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I dare not be a minister!" Feeling the affirmation in Emperor Liu's words, Guo Liangping felt a little relieved, pretending to be modest.

Looking at him, Emperor Liu asked: "I think you've heard about my consideration for enfeoffing the Nanyang Islands, tell me what you think!"

Hearing the question, Guo Liangping couldn't help but fell into deep thought, pondered for a moment, and cupped his hands and said: "As far as the current exploration of Nanyang is concerned, although there are many large and small islands, most of them are rainforests with harsh environments and inaccessible people. The land occupied by ordinary aborigines is not enough. For the sake of the Tao, when the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will surrender and beg for surrender, and serve as slaves and handmaids.

The only ones worth paying attention to are the Three Buddhas and Japa. Although they are barbarian states, the land they occupy is the essence of Nanyang land. It has many years of farming foundation and is of great value.

When I was in Nanyang, I saw the fertile land falling into the hands of those natives. I felt both pity and heartache. If it were managed by my hardworking Han people, the crops and products would be enough to support millions of people.

At the same time, these two countries have a long history of establishing a state and calling it a state, and my ministers always believed that in order to achieve the ultimate goal of colonizing Nanyang, it is necessary to destroy the country and destroy its history, and then spread the grace of the Han Emperor and carry forward the glory of our Chinese civilization. brilliant.
Now if His Majesty wants to divide and expand the land, then these two countries must also be wiped out! "

Guo Liangping solemnly expounded his opinion to Emperor Liu, and the more he said it, the more excited he was. How frustrated he was in the Privy Council for the past two years, how happy he was to state it now. Shuai can't feel it under pressure.

Emperor Liu listened carefully, and signaled to Yantuo, asking him to serve Guo Liangping a cup of tea, and then asked: "In the first battle against Sanfoqi, according to your post-war report, it was a bit of a fluke for our army to win. The victory was too fast, the enemy's defeat was too painful, and the forces of the Japa Kingdom and various indigenous tribes were restrained, and it was only then that King Sanfoqi was forced to surrender.

But seizing an island, even if it is a strategically important place, is different in nature from destroying a country, the response is different, and the difficulties faced by the big man and the resistance they endure are also different.

Adding a Jhava country will make the difficulty even higher. Do you think it will be possible, and how should it be done? "

Upon hearing this, Guo Liangping's surging emotions calmed down a bit, he pondered for a while, and said with a more solemn expression: "Your Majesty, there are three main reasons why I insist on enfeoffment, or relying on it.

The first is that the great Han is strong in national power, and the heroes of the armored soldiers, such as the three Buddhas and the two kingdoms of Japa. Although there are many brave men, their training, discipline, and equipment are far behind that of the Han. Fighting is definitely not the opponent of Wang Shi.In the event of a war, all you need to do is look for an opportunity, facilitate a decisive battle, and wipe out its army, then half the battle will be achieved in destroying the country! "

"I'm a little optimistic!" Emperor Liu frowned and said, "Even if most of their troops are wiped out as you said, what if the Sanfoqi people die and don't surrender? If they change their frontal resistance to guerrilla warfare, hide in those In the mountain rainforest, harassing and attacking, dealing with the court like those barbarians in Anton?"

Regarding this, Guo Liangping said murderously: "Your Majesty, the Anton Governor's Mansion has already set an example, and the improvement of Anton's public security in recent years is obvious to all. Since Anton's current policy is effective, it can naturally be used in Nanyang.

What's more, Feichen is arrogant. Compared with the barbarians in the Northeast, those Nanyang natives are really no match. The real difficulty lies in how to go to sea to fight smoothly and how to guarantee the logistics of military supplies."
