589 Expansion 1
Lu Ning knew very well that the situations they said were all correct. However, the civil war was not the one who harmed our Han people, but it would weaken the strength of the Han people. The three kingdoms in history were not the tragic situation of the Five Barbarians' invasion of China, which allowed the Han people to be in darkness for more than 300 years, and even almost destroyed the nation. Such things cannot happen in my Lu Ning's hands, and they must change the fate of the Han people, and they cannot let the Han people experience the dark three hundred years again.
Lu Ning, who figured out all this, flashed his brilliance and quickly glanced at everyone sitting, then slowly said: "I have a question, I want to communicate with you. Who can tell me that emperor in history is the greatest? He has made the greatest contribution to the Han people?"
After hearing this, Sima Lang said without thinking: "Lord, what's the best comparison? Of course, the great Emperor Liu Gang was the greatest. He overthrew the brutal Qin Dynasty and rescued the people from the fire and fire. Who else could surpass him?"
After hearing Sima Lang's words, some officials had agreed and looked at Lu Ning, wanting to hear whether Lu Ning agreed. But Lu Ning shook his head and sighed, "Fifth brother, Liu Gang is nothing. There are many emperors who are greater than him."
Everyone was silent for a while, no one sniffed. Guo Jia looked at everyone, then looked at Lu Ning again, and then said: "Lord, can Emperor Wu of Han be considered the greatest emperor? He has made great contributions to the Han people repelling the Huns, and has also opened up borders and split the land for the Han people."
After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said seriously: "Wangxiao, Emperor Wu of Han is very great, but he is not the greatest emperor in history. He can only rank second."
Next, everyone was talking about it. Someone said it from King Wen of Zhou, but when Lu Ning saw Lu Ning shook his head, but no one said Qin Shihuang. It was probably that Qin Shihuang was not listed as the object of respect in their hearts. Even the great scholars of the times, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Huang Chengyan and others were not ashamed of Qin Shihuang, which made Lu Ning very depressed. It was probably because Qin Shihuang was too cruel and the Qin Dynasty ruled too short. The ancients did not have a good impression of Qin Shihuang. In their minds, Qin Shihuang was a tyrant.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Ning had to say very seriously: "The greatest emperor in history was Qin Shihuang."
As soon as Lu Ning said the words, the entire conference room was in full swing, and they raised doubts, all looking at Lu Ning with confusion. In their minds, there was a position of Qin Shihuang, but now his lord actually recommended this emperor, which of course caused a lot of shock in their hearts.
Tian Feng, a famous scholar in Jizhou, is a straightforward person and a very talented person. Since following Lu Ning, he has been very skilled and has brought his talents to the greatest extent. He also applauded Lu Ning's series of people-friendly policies. He admired Lu Ning from the bottom of his heart. He is also Lu Ning's left and right arm, and is one of his confidants. Tian Feng's life is much better than that under Yuan Shao. Lu Ning has no intrigue here, no need to engage in class struggle all day, and no need to be wary of his lord's clothes for his children. Under Lu Ning, he can say anything, no need to look forward to it.
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Tian Feng immediately objected: "Lord, Qin Shihuang's greatest emperor is so tragic that he died. Burning books and burying scholars has been a terrible thing for thousands of years. Regardless of the lives and deaths of the people, he built the Afang Palace and Qin Mausoleum, and the palaces on a large scale. It is a shameful act for the world to do."
After hearing this, Zhang Ji said, "Lord, Yuan Hao is right. Qin Shihuang's throne was too short, and the Qin Dynasty was destroyed in just over ten years. How could it be ranked first?"
Lu Ning shook his head and explained: "Everyone, are you asking if that emperor is not cruel? Is that emperor exploiting the people? Is there an emperor of the Han Dynasty who really considers the interests of the people? Are they exploiting the people? Is the Qin Dynasty really cruel than the Han Dynasty? You said that the Qin Dynasty ruled very shortly. If Qin Shihuang had not died early, he could have lived for ten or twenty years, then the situation would be different. It is hard to say whether there is a four hundred years of the Han Dynasty. But one thing is that Qin Shihuang ruled.
Once the Han people were defeated, the country was unified, and the separation of princes was destroyed, forming the concept of a country, and the Han people were no longer separated. This is the greatest credit, and it is a credit that no one can replace. Just imagine, if Qin Shihuang did not unify the world, what would the Han people look like? It is probably worse than now. Yes, now it is also the separation of princes, and it is also the chaotic era of the Han people. I am also very depressed, but some things need to be taken slowly, and problems will arise if they are anxious."
The generals all wanted to fight to solve the problem of unification of the world. Although the internal officials also wanted to unify the world as soon as possible, they did not have enough civilian officials. If they occupied too much territory at once, it would indeed be a drag and the existing situation would change. They all wanted to make achievements and be famous in history, but reality made Lu Ning more sober. He could not do such unresolved things. What he wanted was long-term stability, and the Han people would no longer be greatly hurt, and they could not be greatly damaged.
Seeing that everyone was thinking deeply, Lu Ning smiled slightly and threw out another heavy bomb. "For hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, who can be remembered forever? Who are the celebrities that future generations are most likely to remember? Who is the one who admires the most?"
Seeing that no one answered, Tian Chou knew that it was the question just now that everyone was so cautious that they were afraid of saying it wrong again, which would be very embarrassing. "Lord, if it was the Han Dynasty, it should be the three heroes of the Han Dynasty."
Ju Su nodded and agreed with Tian Chou's words: "Lord, Zitai is right. Without Xiao He, Zhang Liang and Han Xin, the three heroes of the Han Dynasty, there would be no such thing as the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years. These three people have the abilities and merits."
Speaking of this, all the people who are sitting in high IQs agree that the three heroes of the Han Dynasty are the most awesome. But Lu Ning still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The three heroes of the Han Dynasty are at the center of attention and have made great contributions in history, and future generations will not forget their heroic deeds. But the two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, who really talked about by future generations should be the two generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. They led the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to fight bloody battles on the northern grasslands, eliminate the Huns' cavalry, defeat the Huns, and divide the territory for the country and the nation. This is what descendants of later generations are willing to listen to and say. Hundreds of years and thousands of years later, people will only remember this famous scholars and generals who resist the invasion of foreign barbarians for the country and the nation to expand their territory."
Lu Ning paused, raised the water cup and took a sip and continued: "Civil war will only bring disaster to the Han people and will only weaken the strength of the big nation. Civil war will only harm the nation but not benefit the people. Civil war is just a tool for the princes to fight for power. It will not bring any benefits to the Han people. If one more descendant of the Han people dies, it will weaken the strength of the Han people. The country must be unified, but the time is not right and the time is not ripe. When you all are ready, that is
When our army unifies the world and pacify the princes in all directions, our army now wants to expand outward and conquer the outside world, make the territory of our Han nation wider, make the territory of our Han nation bigger, and make the territory of our descendants more for our descendants. This is what our army is doing now. To expand outward, our army can implement the three-light policy, and can ignore the life and death of any foreign nationality targeted by the conquest, and our army can do whatever we want. However, different civil wars, all of our own compatriots will die."
Lu Ning became more and more excited as he spoke. He immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Generals! Let's fight outside! I will lead you to the four directions and step on all the places that can be fought under our iron cavalry. History will remember you! The nation will remember you! Move forward! Move forward!"
Lu Ning's emotions infected the generals who were sitting, the strategists, and the civilian officials who were sitting. They all raised their hands and shouted "Conquer! Conquer outside!" The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became warm, and even the old men such as Guan Ning, Lu Zhi, Cai Yong cheered.
Everyone's opinions were unified, and no one was opposed to sending troops to expand overseas. Lu Ning said excitedly: "Are there anybody who opposes sending troops to fight overseas?"
The officials who sat in the big seat said in unison: "Full support the expansion outward!"
Lu Ning signaled to General Secretary Guo Jia. Guo Jia stood up and announced loudly: "General Zhao Yun obeyed the order."
Zhao Yun immediately stepped out and replied: "Zhao Yun obeyed the order."
Guo Jia said seriously: "General Zhao Yun's army continues to march against Xiliang and solve Liangzhou in the shortest time. Then your army will take a break and immediately raise troops to move forward to the countries in the Western Regions. At that time, General Heizi from the far north will cooperate with your army to fight, and you have the right to control General Heizi's soldiers, and he will obey your arrangements."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun felt very happy and replied loudly: "Please guarantee to complete the task." After that, he stepped back.
Guo Jia shouted again: "General Zhang He obeyed the order!"
Zhang He came out and replied loudly: "Zhang He obeyed the order."
Guo Jia ordered loudly: "General Zhang He is the main general, and General Guan Hai is the deputy general. You immediately get up and yearn for Yi Island, that is, Tianchouzhou. From there, you can raise 40,000 Marines, 10,000 naval soldiers, and 9,000 mercenary soldiers to conquer the Nanyang area. There must be no mistakes."
Zhang He had been idle for several years and had long been yelling to join the war, but he had been suppressed by Lu Ning. Now he could finally lead his troops to the battle. He was extremely excited. He only heard him shouting loudly: "I have the order."
Just as Zhang He was about to retreat, Lu Ning next to him hurriedly said, "Second brother, you are going very hard. You must be mentally prepared for a long-term war. Those monkeys in the South China Sea are not good things. You must firmly implement the Three Lights Policy and kill all monkeys in the South China Sea. When doing war, you must let mercenary soldiers be in front and let them act as cannon fodder for our army."
