Sweep the World

For a ruler, what should I do if there is pressure in the country?

Appropriate rulers will find ways to dissipate the people's dissatisfaction, and then modify the policy to the greatest extent, but this will basically not be of great use. What is tested is the patience and courage of the people in China.

Rulers who are more qualified will look for an enemy outside, use external enemies to attract domestic attention, and try their best to publicize the enemy’s threats. In addition, they should sort out internal affairs and then unite. They should be united, not necessarily true. The war against that enemy can be very effective in shifting domestic conflicts, as long as the people's grievances are not overwhelming, it can always be sustained.

Excellent rulers, they will do the above two steps, they will also train a group of enterprising people, find a hands-on foreign enemy to start, and ensure that the enemy can be wiped out easily. They may not take much resources from the enemy. Internal dissatisfaction must be vented.

Qualified and excellent rulers, when they are looking for the enemy, they will also take the opportunity to clean up the threatened part of the country. This is very dangerous. Improper operation of the domestic threat has not been eliminated, and the foreign war has not been won. As a result, It is his own "Longwei" that has been shaken, and those who are threatened are also wary of holding the group. If they don't change the phalanx's own throne, they will not be guaranteed.

Liu Yan can think of some examples, but there are not too many emperors with courage and courage in the history of Zhu Xia. There are successes, failures, and both good and bad.

[I won't be Yang Guang anyway...] Liu Yan has read history, and he also specifically learned about Yang Guang: [Yang Guang is not really that unbearable, but the winner of the change of dynasty did his best to discredit him. It’s just that the opponent he encountered was too strong and too cunning, and he lacked patience...]

There is currently no interest group in Han. The several interest groups that have just formed are still targeting each other. Furthermore, Liu Yan has always exercised the highest control over the military. As long as there are no problems with the military, there will be no major problems.

"The war in Gupta, the war in the Western Regions, and the war in the grasslands." Liu Yan said in a more general way, but would still divide the local battlefield: "The first priority today is the war in Gupta and the Western Regions."

The war against the Gupta dynasty has become more and more complicated, and it is also the Han Kingdom...or the first cross-sea war in the history of Zhu Xia to travel thousands of miles away. If it fails, it will have very serious consequences.

"Although there was a slight delay, the war was relatively smooth." Xu Zheng knew very well how important the war against the Gupta Dynasty was. He thought Liu Yan was wavering and said quickly: "General Zhengnan promised to land on the enemy next year. Local."

Liu Yan did not waver at all. Once the first invasion that went thousands of miles away failed, Zhu Xia, who likes to learn from history, would repeat this failure and make most people retreat as soon as they heard of cross-sea operations. , Their generation may still be able to conduct cross-sea wars again, but future generations may not have that confidence and courage.

Ji Chang and Sang Yu looked at each other, and the two reached a tacit understanding in an instant.

"Your Majesty, if there is a need for war, the Prime Minister's Mansion can provide the greatest support." Although Ji Chang turned to hope for a peaceful construction of internal affairs, he knew exactly when to see: "The battle against Gupta is a grit. The ministers will also do their best."

Sang Yu immediately agreed: "The battle between the big man and Gupta, forming an alliance with many countries, can only destroy the country."

Speaking from different angles, the military is still full of confidence in winning. The Prime Minister’s Mansion stated that it will continue no matter how difficult it is, but Sang Yu speaks from the perspective of diplomatic relations.

Zhu Xia is actually a country with a good face, and there are too many examples of swollen faces and fat people. In many cases, it is not purely for the sake of face. It is because a great country should be like a great country. Otherwise, how to maintain its majesty and make countries fearful?

In interpersonal social interaction, confident people are usually easier to persuade others, and will also make others feel jealous when they want to disadvantage themselves.

In terms of the country’s diplomatic relations, a powerful country needs to rely on its majesty to deter other countries. Otherwise, it is obvious that it is very powerful, but other countries find it easy to bully. Even if other countries may not be able to treat themselves well, it will be uncomfortable to be repeatedly provoked.

Han has not yet adapted to what kind of attitude the superpower should have. After all, the time for the establishment of the country is still short. Most of the ruling classes are born in the dynasty. The fundamental reason why they have been tough on the outside world is due to encounters. The enemy is nothing more than counseling.

When Liu Yan saw several important ministers express their opinions one after another, he was relieved in his heart and also knew why.

The military needs to have war, and they have to prove their worth in the war and go to the battlefield to gain military merit and seal their wives.

The thinking of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not unified, but as the prime minister, Ji Chang is very clear that the power of the country cannot be shaken. Foreign countries may not be able to take the Han country, but domestic ambitions will inevitably take advantage of the problem.

It has only been nine years since the establishment of Han State, and the time is so short that many of its opponents and enemies have not died. I don't know how many people are hiding in the dark.

For example, in the Northwest, as soon as there is a slight problem, so many remnants will pop out. That is the premise that the Han army did not encounter major setbacks in the war.

If the war against the Gupta dynasty is abandoned halfway, it will not only be a problem in the northwest, but a major problem in the south of the Yangtze River will then spread to the whole country.

Don’t forget that the drought in the northwest is an established fact, and the full-scale drought in northern Xinjiang has already appeared. No one knows how Liu Yan foresaw the outbreak of drought in advance. He first mentioned the period of drought in the Central Plains in the sixth year of Yuanshuo. Many people are surprised and confused.

In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, the Han Dynasty had not yet wiped out the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, nor had it recovered from Sizhou and Bingzhou at that time. At that time, Liu Yan mentioned that there would be a drought. If he didn't show enough mystery, it would not be surprise and confusion, but that he was mentally ill.

Three years have passed, and Liu Yan’s prediction has been confirmed. I don’t know how many people regretted why they expanded so quickly. They should wait for the drought to break out before acting. Han will be able to appear as a savior, and the countries where the drought occurred are also Will be cast aside.

It's too late to say anything, especially Liu Yan doesn't regret it at all. Of course he knew that procrastination was good, but the number of Han people was already small enough. It was with the idea that one could keep one, so that he did not take advantage of natural disasters.

It is not Mother Liu Yan, it is his ambition that determines his actions.

In an era where people are needed for everything, how many people will be left if natural disasters occur and then expand again?

At present, Han has a population of more than 17 million. Such a small amount of people can't even fill up the local area, and they can't do many things they want to do. If it waits for natural disasters to send troops, Han will definitely not have 17 million people at present, and at most it will be just over 10 million.

At the end of the court meeting, Liu Yan returned to the apse to have a rest. Not long after Cui Zong reported that Prime Minister Jichang and the imperial envoy Sang Yu asked for a meeting.

Liu Yan knew that someone would come to see him. What was more surprising was that only Ji Chang and Sang Yu came.

"His Majesty."

Both Ji Chang and Sang Yu looked very worried, and after being seated, the two did not immediately speak out. They were not surprised that Liu Yan would wait in the apse, on the contrary, they took it for granted.

"Your Majesty." Sang Yu stood up and saluted, and said: "The disaster from heaven is misfortune. The ambitions confuse the people. The minister thinks it should be done!"

Liu Yan nodded but said nothing.

The so-called ambitious generations are not too few, the remnants of the aftermath of the annihilation of various countries, because of the groups whose various policy interests have been damaged by Han. Especially those aristocratic families and wealthy families, because the state controls the land and the liberation of slaves, it is inevitable that they will resent the Han country.

Most people who didn't know how to hide their resentment were slaughtered by Huan Wen and Ran Min who raised their butcher knife. Under Huan Wen's high pressure on the southern aristocratic family and wealthy families, those who should be destroyed did not survive, and more often went into hiding. Ran Min's slaughter in the north was more aimed at the Jie clan, and was relatively mild to some aristocratic families and tycoons, and left a lot of troubles.

Of course, if there are groups whose interests are damaged, there will be beneficiaries, such as those who are liberated from slaves, and the people who have freed up more acres to rent. The country will benefit the most, and some people in the system will also benefit the most. Then I bit some meat.

"The ambassador can go to the south." Liu Yan just closed the door and let Sangyu go, smiled and said, "But you have to master the scale."

Sang Yu's position is to suppress the South. If something happens, he will suppress it desperately. If there is no accident, he will find reasons to suppress it. That is something he will inevitably do as one of the leaders of the northern faction.

"There is a qing in the south, and there are words in the north." Liu Yan paid much attention to Sang Yu's emotional changes, but he didn't notice it clearly. He smiled and said: "Widows will patrol the northern realms as per their orders."

In other words, Lu Yi is one of the leaders of the southern faction.

The contradictions between the North and South factions in Han Dynasty existed from the beginning. Liu Yan did not put an end to the factions, and never thought of killing them all at once. He knew that where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, and he couldn't stop it at all. He wanted them to fight with each other and maintain a balance while not letting them affect the country's decision-making.

The North and South factions suppress each other. If one person goes to the south and the other goes to the north, they will not do too much. At least they will not deal with anyone with unnecessary charges, but they will be beneficial to the country. Liu Yan's actions are simply one thing. This kind of imperialism, and as a modern man who travels through, he does not need to learn it specially. There is too much knowledge in the books that he reads, even if he is only watching a series or a movie.

"Your Majesty Shengming." Sang Yu didn't seem to resist at all. He slapped him, and then continued: "This time, the minister wants to go to the Indochina Peninsula. Your Majesty will judge him."

Liu Yan could reply immediately, but he looked at Ji Chang.

"The officials heard that there were many lawlessnesses in the place, and there were also acts of colluding with foreign countries." Ji Chang obviously agreed. He has always opposed the autonomy of the Indochina Peninsula, thinking that it should be subordinate to the center, so he said: "The ministers who are not ministers should be dealt with."

It was not long for Han to occupy the Indochina Peninsula, but Liu Yan opened this opening to make some people fall into a carnival. Although he didn't do the work of cracking the earth and enshrining the community, but with the strength, courage, and courage to develop the various families in the Indochina Peninsula, occupying a lot of land can dominate the blessing, almost no different from his own country.

Liu Yan opened up the Indochina Peninsula to let those people have fun. There was no expectation that those guys could be moral gentlemen. It would be pedantic to talk to the local natives about the law, and colonization should look like a colony, but he cannot tolerate someone without the permission of the central government. Communicate with the Gentiles.

"The law of China only applies to the people of China." Liu Yan looked at Sang Yu deeply and said: "People who are not widowed are not protected by Han laws."

Sang Yu immediately said with fear and sincerity: "The minister is edict."

It is okay to use the laws of the country to punish crooked nuts, but the laws of the country should be used to protect crooked nuts. Not only Liu Yan feels that there is no such reason, but even the most common people in Han feel that crooked nuts should not be used. Received such a blessing.

"The ambassador went to the Indochina Peninsula to record the rumors along the way, and when he came back, he was presented to the widow." Liu Yan did not give the authority to do anything, nor would he give it to him: "Go south, follow this example."

What can Sang Yu do besides saluting and fulfilling his orders?

At this stage, Zhu Xia hadn't had such a profession as imperial envoy, which was only available in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Before, there were only the emperor’s envoys who were ordered to go to a certain place, but the emperor’s envoys had limited rights, and they could usually only perform tasks arranged by the emperor. If the emperor's envoy finds something illegal, he can only mention it when he returns to his life, and he has no right to deal with it.

It is not the first time that Liu Yan has sent ministers to inspect the counties and counties. He has never given the right to act cheaply. Whatever he wants to do is dealt with. The emperor's envoy is responsible for investigating the case, and the emperor's deputy envoy is responsible for handling the case. Checks and balances.

Sang Yu went back and sat down a little sickly.

"Your Majesty." Ji Chang doesn't care about how the North and the South are going to fight~www.wuxiamtl.com~ It is a check and balance technique of the emperor. He said the main purpose of this trip: "All localities have already made arrangements, and the people will be grateful for kindness."

If Liu Yan hadn't known it in advance, he would have been dumbfounded after hearing such an endless sentence.

Ji Chang is talking about guiding public opinion.

Han has already suffered a big loss in the northwest. It deeply regrets that Liu Yan had predicted that a drought would happen without prior announcement. It is also true that no one would dare to gamble before it happened. Otherwise, the consequences would be very serious, even if it was wrong. Threatened Liu Yan's rule.

The Northwest did not announce Liu Yan's "prophecy" in advance. As a result, there were remarks that "the emperor is not moral, not enough to govern the Northwest." Later, I will mention nothing to remedy it.

Liu Yan said that the drought would spread to northern Xinjiang and the Central Plains, but no one is taking it seriously now, especially when Ji Chang sent people to various places to conduct detailed investigations, and indeed found signs of natural disasters, then it would be more than stupid to do nothing.

"So, the prime minister spends more snacks."

Liu Yan knows what **** creation is. He actually has no special idea about such a thing. The key is that he has to do it now.
