"Those fools are always clamoring for military spending, but they don't see the expansion of territory over the years or the extinction of threatened alien races." Ran min scolded all civil servants: "blind, all blind!"
The military can only use two standing armies, which is a heavy yoke to any military leader. The two standing armies, that is, 30000 soldiers, will have affiliated County soldiers, but the number of standing armies used is too small to do too much. The use of less than 100000 troops is a small fight in the eyes of any military leader.
The Marquis of the state of Han has just reached double digits. Under the national policy of not being a marquis without military merit, there are many martial artists eager to be a Marquis with military merit. Those people who are already Marquis don't think they can make a living if they are a marquis. Up there is either a duke or no one dislikes their own fiefdoms. No matter how big their fiefdoms are, the more they have, the better.
How did the Fengyi and the Yihu come from? Of course, it won't be the weather when people sit at home. It has to be the brothers who catch the enemy and beat him. The harder they beat, the greater the credit, and the richer the reward they get.
"What do you mean, the big man has no threat?" Ran min drank up the wine and patted it heavily on the table. The wine was directly broken: "for someone, non Han people are a fucking threat."
Ran Min has been looking for books recently, especially history books.
History books are divided into biographies and national history, and the other is the emperor's book. Not everyone can read the history books about emperors, and the national history is the same. Biographies don't pay so much attention.
Biography is the biography of historical celebrities (ministers), which can be divided into official and unofficial history. All the heroes who can leave biography in history are temporary heroes, who either have made great contributions to the country and nation, or have a profound influence in a major historical event.
Chen Sheng, as the first person to openly shout out that "princes will rather have seed", never mind that he has long been brewing an incident and found a overdue demagogue corvee to revolt together, which belongs to his own biography and has a significant impact on major historical events.
In fact, according to the law of the Qin Dynasty, there are grades for punishing corvee overdue, which does not mean that it will be beheaded if overdue. The Qin law stipulates how serious the punishment is for how many days overdue and how much whipping is to be carried out within how many time limits. There is really no provision that the head will be beheaded if overdue. Therefore, Chen Sheng said that if the corvee was overdue, it would be beheaded, which was a kind of intimidation and coerced the accompanying people to start work together.
Zhang Liang and Han Xin have been recognized for their contributions to the country. Both of them have special biographies. Zhang Liang is the biography of liuhou, and Han Xin's final conclusion is the biography of Huaiyin Hou.
When writing Han Xin's biographies, Sima Qian must be very upset. Han Xin was first canonized as king of Qi and later became king of Chu. There are too many black histories of Lao Liu's family. How can they become more black histories of the Marquis of Huaiyin? How can we avoid the fact that Han Xin laid down two-thirds of the territory for Liu Bang, and the tragic end of Han Xin's great contribution, resulting in too many vague and unclear places in the biographies of the Marquis of Huaiyin, Tampering and modification are inevitable.
Because Liu Bang defeated Xiang Ji (Xiang family, famous book, word Yu), don't expect too much about the historical definition of Xiang Ji, especially when it is written by the ministers of the old Liu family.
In ancient times, not everyone could address them. In addition to elders and friends, calling Xiang Yu directly was a kind of contempt. Later generations called the overlord of Western Chu Xiang Yu, and even the official name was Xiang Yu Benji. In fact, this is the biggest insult.
Xiang Ji association is the Benji, which is a fact that the old Liu family can't change. Liu Bang was enfeoffed by Xiang Ji in Hanzhong. During the period of hegemony, both sides were princes and kings, so it must be the Benji rather than biography. Biography is the work of ministers.
Ran min could not see too many biographies, and there were so many biographies in the past, most of which were in the first Han Dynasty.
In fact, there are few worthy of special books. Ran min's favorite is those biographies with a history of bloody war with other nationalities, so they belong to Mengtian biographies and Li Mu biographies.
"In the pre Qin Dynasty, all but the Xia Dynasty were enemies. They were Rong people, Di people, Yi people, barbarians and Yue people." Of course, ran Min has not seen the relevant history of the Xia and Shang Dynasties. There is no reason to behead them when they dig graves in such an era, but there is no archaeology, but there are many related legends. As for the records of the pre Qin Dynasty, ran Min has read part of the book of Zhou, and there is the part of the Zhou family moving its capital under the coercion of foreign nationalities: "facts have proved that when all visible foreign nationalities can be eliminated to the point that none of them exist, he must not be soft hearted."
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes and kings of the Zhou Dynasty were actually quite obedient. From time to time, the kings of the Zhou Dynasty ordered the princes and kings to send troops and send generals to fight the surrounding foreign races. When the Western Zhou Dynasty was forced to move eastward, it was not that the princes and kings began to be disobedient, but saying "war fire plays Princes" was a politically correct argument. It was time that the binding force and influence of the Zhou office on the princes and kings decreased infinitely.
Nations are fighting each other all the time for living space. If they are strong, they will grab more land for ethnic groups to thrive. If they are weak, they will naturally lose their territory, reduce their living space and even perish.
When it comes to farming nations in future generations, there will always be arguments that farming nations are not aggressive, defensive, or sheep race. In fact, those are bullshit!
In the Xia Dynasty, the living space of Zhuxia was only a part of the east of mountain 1. In the Shang Dynasty, Zhuxia began to enter the area known as the Central Plains in later generations. In the Zhou Dynasty, due to the wanton enfeoffment, it entered the development period. After the establishment of unification of the Qin Empire, it did not stop the pace of outward development. The surrounding land that the Han Empire could use for farming was occupied everywhere.
To say that the farming nation is not aggressive, those Rong, Di and Yi who have been destroyed to the point where there is no residue will cry to death again even in the underworld, and Zhuman and ZhuYue who have been suppressed until it is difficult to catch their breath will inevitably shout who defines blindness like that.
Future generations always talk about the "fighting nation". When it comes to the "fighting nation", it will be said that it is hairy bears. It is probably that hairy bears drink too much wine and are prone to go crazy!
To say "fighting nation", a nation that has stood in the forest of the world for thousands of years and has not been destroyed, has experienced countless bloody wars from a corner, and has played a dominant position. Civilization has been at the peak of the world for a long time. Zhuxia is more qualified than any nation to say that it is a fighting nation!
No nonsense. Since the beginning of the Zhuxia Dynasty, countless races have been destroyed. Although there are twists and turns, they have been inherited all the time. Like Rome, which has destroyed countless countries and families, only Italians who are not Romans wear hats and hats. In fact, they have already laid in the coffin.
History is not only the inside information, even if it is slightly backward, it can also be spurred by the brilliant deeds of our ancestors, and soon stand at the peak of the forest of nations in the world.
After reading the history books, ran min felt that he had risen to another level and would show off when he seized the opportunity: "no one in the first warriors of Zhuxia is dissatisfied, but a big husband who knows the threat of alien races!"
What ran Min said about the first warrior of Zhuxia is not Meng Tian, but emperor Xin.
Dixin was the king of the late Shang Dynasty who was defined as "King Zhou" by the Zhou Dynasty, but he was really not as unbearable as defined by the Zhou Dynasty. On the contrary, he was intelligent, sensitive and talented. He had the power to drag nine cattle down and the power to comfort Liang Yizhu. After he succeeded to the throne, he attached importance to expanding his territory, sent troops to attack the eastern Yi tribes and the Western Li tribes, and expanded his territory to the coastal areas of shan1dong, Anhui, jiang1su, Zhejiang and fu1, which was more ruthless than the most crazy Wuding before.
The most moderate evaluation of Dixin is "unifying China", but Dixin has been black by Zhou Shi as a "tyrant" for 3000 years. Even the emperor Taizu fought for emperor Xin Ping. That sentence "it is wrong to regard King Zhou, Qin Shihuang and Cao Cao as bad people. In fact, King Zhou is a man with great ability and can write and fight." But it was clearly written on Mao Xuan.
Emperor Xin mobilized all his troops to the border to fight with other nationalities, but there were princes and kings rebelling at home. Ji Zhou won the ruling power. In order to emphasize his correctness, he must not kill Di Xin. In fact, what can be black is the system, that is, slavery. The problem is that Ji Zhou himself is also slavery! This is very embarrassing, so it doesn't matter what kind of person Dixin is. It's right to go to death anyway.
"Such a person..." Huan Wen knows more about history than ran min. seeing that ran Min has begun to ignore nonsense, he ordered: "there is a beginning emperor."
When Emperor Xin was in power, the army basically fought with foreigners at the border, leaving only a very small number of troops in the hinterland. After the first emperor ruled the world, the vast majority of the troops also fought with foreign nationalities in the frontier. In the hinterland, a small number of Qin people led the corvee soldiers of the six countries. Huan Wen said that the army fought a bloody war with foreign nationalities on the border, and the domestic rebellion had no time to mobilize counter insurgency.
Ran min's expression stagnated and he obviously froze.
Everyone knows that alien is a threat, but the premise is to be stable internally. Otherwise, alien is caught and killed, but internal rebellion subverts the country. How much has been done to expand the living space of the nation, and then it will be discredited without a bottom line. No one can stand it.
With the "lesson from the past", all dynasties since the Qin Empire basically arranged strong troops in the center and adopted the policy of strong cadres and weak branches. When the central government does not move, even if there are border troops in the border area, there will not be many, resulting in loopholes in the defense line and constant attacks by foreign nationalities. Only when it is serious enough, the central army will go to war.
Put a strong army on the border to fight with foreign nationalities. No matter what reason caused the continuous rebellion at home, it occurred in the Ming Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also died under the difficulties at home and abroad.
When it comes to reading, Huan Wen definitely reads more than ran min. People with knowledge have more ideas. He is reminding ran min not to be silly and say some nonsense, such as advocating to Liu Yan that the side wall is thick and the hinterland is weak.
"Internal affairs construction is a major event and must be done." Huan Wen was reasoning, which made ran min very unhappy. He said some reasons why it was necessary to develop internal affairs, From the point of view of a military man, he said, "to stop fighting is not to stop fighting, but to fight until the enemy can't afford weapons. The major event of the country is to worship the army. It's not advisable to be militaristic, but it's more dangerous to forget the war. Some people think it's reasonable to stop at the five standing armies."
"Spray it." Ran min was full of encouragement: "what are you talking about here? Spit out the faces of the prime minister and others, spray them with your truth, and reduce the obstacles to persuading the king."
Huan Wen didn't want to talk nonsense. He explained, "the Han is short of food. It's not enough to take the food from the (Indochina) Peninsula just because of the lack of local output. The king has been moved by what the general said about going out to plunder. We have to choose the target. We should always know how to go and how to fight when we go across the sea."
Most of them have experienced bloody battles on land. Even if Huan Wen knows water warfare, he is also in inland rivers. He doesn't know anything about naval warfare.
They heard Liu Yan talk about the history of a San. The Peacock Dynasty has long been ancient. What they noticed is that the Navy there has never been weak. It is relatively clear that there are no conditions to go to assan's territory on land. Cross sea operations are far more reliable than long journeys on land. They have to discuss maritime operations, but no one can say anything.
To go overland from the Central Plains to assan territory, one is the route of the plateau, the other is the jungle of South Asia.
The Han Dynasty brought Ba and Shu into its rule. Shu land is connected to the plateau. The problem is that the army can't go up on a large scale at all. There are too few people who can adapt to the plateau climate. If there are too few, it is impossible to take a large-scale invasion. It's hard to get up on the plateau. It seems useless to explore the route that can enter ah San's territory.
South Asia is less difficult than the plateau. The density of primitive forests is amazing, and there are mountains everywhere. In the past, the most colonial casualties were not fighting monkeys, but a large number of casualties caused by various natural environments. It is estimated that 100000 troops have not yet entered the territory of a'san, and more than half of their casualties first. Due to the low morale under this phenomenon, they have to give their heads away.
After all, is it almost the only feasible to invade ah San's territory by sea? But this is actually wrong. You can invade from the western regions from north to south. However, to attack from the western regions, you have to gnaw down Kashmir first and gnaw all the way for hundreds of miles to reach the Ganges River Basin. Therefore, it is relatively reliable to take the cross sea landing operation with the goal of robbing grain.
"It must be right to find out the route first." Xu Zheng has been listening silently. Waiting, he finally got to the point and had to say: "the Strait has been found, but the route has not been clearly touched."
Even if the route is clear, it does not mean that it can pass. What the Chinese civilization pays attention to the military is to know themselves and the enemy so that they can be invincible. Their understanding of ah San is limited to Liu Yan's occasional gossip, which can not be used as evidence. It is necessary to find out which countries there are, what the maritime power is, and finally what to do after landing.
"Touch, but touch hard." Ran min took it for granted: "issue a strict order and have a feasibility report within three months. If the chief officer is cut off within the time limit, he will be rewarded for completing the task!"
Ran min felt that it was unnecessary to spy on what countries ah San had and how strong their land military forces were. He firmly believed that as long as they focused on them, none of them could resist. The difference was the cost.
