Han Shizu

After careful observation of Emperor Liu, seeing that his reaction was flat, Guo Liangping said again: "I still have two considerations. One is that the hundreds of thousands of Han merchants who have gone to sea these years have all dared to fight, fight and win. People, whether in business, reclamation or mining, are all in groups, keeping warm in groups, armed to open up, and they spontaneously organize basic military training, which has always been maintained. country soldier training.

No matter what status these people are in the country, and what quarrels have occurred among them, they all have only one identity outside, and that is the big man's people.Previously, although the imperial court encouraged and supported sea colonization, it did not organize it and fully mobilize its power. If it could be effectively organized and utilized, it would be hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

Currently, most of the towns and fortresses established by the Han people in Nanyang are built along the sea, and they are too scattered. They have more than enough self-preservation and insufficient development. Many places have even suffered huge losses due to the perennial intrusion of the aborigines, so they have to abandon them.

Prior to this, many Nanyang merchants had voiced their voices, hoping to establish a military and political organization like Liangping Island, linking the Zhuzhendian strongholds together, and effectively supporting and protecting the Han people based on the local area.

If His Majesty wants to subdivide Nanyang, these overseas Han people are the most important support and the most reliable force.If you want to seal the country, you should also build around those towns, forts, and strongholds that have already been established. This is a matter of laying a solid foundation. "

Guo Liangping talked eloquently and eloquently, as if he was proving to Emperor Liu that he was different from those officials who catered to his wishes, that he had in-depth understanding and thought carefully.

Seeing that Emperor Liu listened earnestly and looked as if he was gaining something, Guo Liangping became more confident and continued: "Another point is that the contradictions among the barbarians in Nanyang can be greatly exploited.

For example, the Three Buddhas, although they have a long history, their political and military construction are extremely rough, and they have not formed a powerful centralized court. ruled, a large number of tribal barbarians were distributed among them.

Regardless of whether it is the navy or powerful merchants, they communicate with many indigenous tribes, and even some tribes work for us.

The minister believed that using the barbarians to control the barbarians would be an effective way to reduce the obstacles and losses of the Han Dynasty.Now on the island of Java, the Japa Kingdom is rising, and its king, Murocha, intends to dominate the entire island. Although he is friendly to the people of the Han family and keeps sending envoys to the DPRK to seek support, the Han people on the island are still worried.Therefore, whether it is for the closure of the country or for the wealth and safety of the Han merchants, the imperial court should also take decisive measures. Java Island must not be allowed to be unified, even in name! "

As he said that, Guo Liangping glanced at Emperor Liu halfway as if he was looking for affirmation, and then said: "In addition, I have lived in Nanyang for many years, and I can count it as an overview of various places. In addition to understanding geography and military affairs, I am also observing its customs. Favor.

From my point of view, Nanyang is warm and humid, with a unique environment for farming, animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, and the output is huge. However, the local barbarians don't know how to cherish it, and they don't need to work as hard as my Han people, and they don't need intensive farming. Therefore, in addition to being ignorant and backward, they are also lazy and lazy. Although there are people who are aggressive in folk customs, they do not have a strong and resolute will.

Many indigenous tribes are isolated from the world, have little communication with the outside world, and have no loyalty to those barbarian countries.Therefore, the situation that His Majesty is concerned about the tenacious resistance of Sri Lanka, Java and other countries is not very likely to happen. It only needs to defeat the army, destroy the country, destroy its institutional system, and supplement it with the strategy of dividing and appeasement. It is enough to succeed ! "

Speaking of this, Guo Liangping stopped talking. He thought he had said enough, and if all of this was not approved by Emperor Liu, it would be useless to say more.

And Emperor Liu was obviously moved by Guo Liangping, or he only needed a plausible reason, some feasible suggestions, whether it was Liu Chengxun before or Guo Liangping at this time, their words are truly convincing , after all, people are personally on the scene, heard and witnessed, and it has been practiced.

As for the others, it's fine to object, but why should Emperor Liu accept all advice?If you want to convince Emperor Liu, you should at least visit Nanyang once, and investigate after some investigation, which is difficult for most ministers to do.

Emperor Liu was silent, and the longer the silence, the deeper he thought, and the firmer his mind on the enfeoffment of Nanyang.

After a long time, Emperor Liu raised his eyes, first heaved a long sigh of relief, and then slowly said: "If you want to succeed in the affairs of Nanyang, you will inevitably use swords and soldiers. , don't be careless. I intend to use you to go to Nanyang again to coordinate the expedition, what do you think?"

Hearing these words, Guo Liangping was both excited and joyful. What he needs now is just such an opportunity, an opportunity to broaden the sky and stretch his ambitions.The life of the Privy Council was really too depressing and aggrieved, how could it be so happy to attack across the sea and gallop across the ocean.

Doing his best to restrain the turmoil in his heart, Guo Liangping held his head high, clasped his fists heavily, and said in a loud voice: "Dedicate yourself to your best, and die only after you die!"

Seeing this, Emperor Liu nodded, thought for a while, and then asked: "Based on your calculation, how long will it take to wipe out the barbarians and establish a feudal state?"

Although Guo Liangping is full of confidence and speaks freely, but on this issue, his head is sober, and his performance is inevitably a little hesitant.Emperor Liu was keenly aware of this hesitation, narrowed his eyes, and said with a cold expression, "Why, this question makes you difficult?"

Guo Liangping was startled, his eyelids twitched a few times involuntarily, but he still replied cautiously: "I think ten years of effort is enough to achieve success!"

"Ten years!" Emperor Liu's voice suddenly rose, echoing in the hall, shaking Guo Liangping's heart: "I am nearly sixty years old! Do you think I can afford to wait ten years?"

Under all the sober and calm appearance, there was Emperor Liu's stubborn, arrogant and eager heart, and this question just reflected some of his mood.

For Guo Liangping, when facing the "real" side of Emperor Liu, the inner pressure can be imagined.At this time, he suddenly realized that Nanyang's errands might not be as easy and comfortable as he imagined.

Regardless of thinking more, Guo Liangping had no choice but to deal with the pressure in front of Emperor Liu's aggressive eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, "I implore one hundred thousand sailors, three years to come!"

"One ten years, one hundred thousand, you, Guo Liangping, are you deliberately joking with me?" Emperor Liu couldn't hold back his anger, and immediately reprimanded: "Anxi has fought for so many years and killed so many people. What is he facing? Such a difficult enemy has less than [-] soldiers. To deal with the barbarians overseas, you need [-] soldiers. If you need to raise such a large army, what do you need?"

The pressure from Emperor Liu was so strong that Guo Liangping was beating drums in his heart, but at this moment he had to persevere subconsciously. Facing Emperor Liu's angry eyes, he buried his head and hands, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, soldiers! A place of death and life, I dare not be careless!"

This is blocking me with the words just now!Emperor Liu secretly thought, but seeing Guo Liangping's persistent performance, Emperor Liu had a little more confidence in him. After all, what he wanted was not the goal of "Ping Liao in three years"
Thinking of this, Emperor Liu slowly regained his composure, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "I will issue an imperial edict, and the Privy Council will fully demonstrate and plan your proposal, and draw up a plan for the Nanyang conquest. You are Nanyang The proposer of the meritorious strategy will also be the implementer, and the plan is based on your opinion!"

Hearing this edict, Guo Liangping's eyes lit up, he clasped his fists immediately, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

Regardless of other things, at least as far as the current result is concerned, it is beneficial to Guo Liangping, and he can finally vent his anger.

"Go back!"

"I retire!"

After Guo Liangping left, Emperor Liu's expression quickly darkened. He listened to his words and observed his expression. At this time, Emperor Liu couldn't help but have some doubts about Guo Liangping.
