From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 413
War is the continuation of politics. This sentence was very popular in Richard’s previous life, but in this age of monarchs, war is determined by the will of the monarch.
The more centralized the country, the more uncertain and dramatic the outbreak and cessation of wars.
Because the person standing at the top can launch a war based on his own hobbies. A more rational emperor may decide whether a war should be launched based on the actual situation. Some moody, or simply emperors whose brains and ambitions are not proportional, initiate the war. The reason is unfounded…
This is also the reason why there have been many strange wars in history.
Of course, in addition to the will of the emperor, the initiation of war has a lot to do with the interest groups sitting in the court. Although they cannot determine the direction of the war, they can use their energy to influence the war.
For example, it is the most common practice to deceive the emperor and make some false or half-truth news that is beneficial to self-interest, which is constantly promoted in the ears of the emperor.
Over time, the judgment of the emperors will naturally be affected!
In fact, the prince felt that Yue Fei was too threatening, and a large part of the reason was that the people around him had instilled it over time!
The reputation of Yue Fei’s loyalty and courage can not be spread simply by engraving the four characters on his back, “Being loyal to the country”. It is more of Yue Fei’s acting style since his rise.
Even many folks know that Yue Fei is a loyal minister and good general, and the people above should know it.
Unfortunately, in this era of very backward communications, high-level information and private information are often asymmetrical.
For people like the emperor and prince who grew up in the deep palace, the channels for them to obtain information are from the people around them and the officials in the court. If these people deliberately conceal it or simply don’t tell it, how do they know the real facts? ?
Therefore, it is normal for emperors in the history of the earth to make jokes about not knowing how much eggs cost. In fact, apart from the founding emperor, 90% of emperors did not know the price of basic living supplies on the market…
Yue Fei’s threat theory became popular with the prince, not only because of the strength of the Yue Family Army, but also because the strength of the Yue Family Army blocked the wealth of a large group of people!
As the saying goes, the higher the standing, the more people who are jealous, not to mention that the wealth of the country is fixed. The Yue family army takes more, and other armies naturally take less.
Since it can’t be compared with Yue Jiajun in real strength, of course, he has to take other ‘shortcuts’.
Throughout the ages, how many heroes have fallen into the calculations of villains?
In fact, politics is playing tricks. Only real villains and traitors can understand politics. Really loyal and innocent people are either played to death or become a martyr in politics…
Yue Fei is very smart, but his attitude towards loyalty is above all else, so even if he knows that the imperial court’s deadline attack on him was the result of malicious attacks, he still did not do anything that was not conducive to the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty, but rather followed the edict. , And set off with the main force that Yue Family Army can fight most.
Even the local garrison troops that were used to charge the number did not carry it, just because Yue Fei needed them to suppress the place and maintain law and order!
Only when public security is ensured can the common people live in stability and continue production, and when the common people can live in stable production, can the imperial court receive more taxes and accumulate more money for war and national strength recovery.
Everything is for Da Song!
As long as the Great Song can last forever, Yue Fei is willing to pay his own life!
Of course, Yue Fei did not mean to be truly selfless, what he asked for was not power and wealth, but a name behind him!
What Yue Fei wanted was that when the later generations mentioned his name, they would give him a thumbs up and praise him as a patriotic loyal minister!
At this point, Yue Fei surpassed most of the high-ranking officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, and his life was short. Why not leave a good name for future generations when he stood on a high place?
As long as the reputation remains, even if Beiming wins, as long as the people of the Southern Song Dynasty are still alive and passed on from generation to generation, Yue Fei will always be the loyal minister who serves the country with great loyalty!
As for the reputation of being foolish and loyal, it is a good name in this era…
People in this era are still very simple, without the messy negative energy thoughts of Richard Richard’s previous life, and the theory that people who do not serve themselves are to be rejected by thousands of people in this era…
What this era emphasizes is being kind to people and other positive energy. Even if officials do many bad things in private, they will try to maintain their image of integrity.
Didn’t you see that there are plaques hanging in the lobby of the Yamen?
The mainstream voice of society is to be kind to others, to be full of disdain for the smell of copper, and to look down on businessmen who are associated with money.
For the rich in society, don’t talk about idols in the eyes of the people. If you don’t get pricked on the backbone, you will have a good reputation…
This is not to say that there is a hatred of wealth, but that there is a trend of morality higher than money in society.
Of course, this is also the reason why people in modern society in Richard’s previous life laughed at the ignorance of people in ancient society~www.mtlnovel.com~ People living in a money-oriented society cannot understand the people of this era, even if they don’t have enough to eat. All day long thinking about the idea of benevolent to others…
It is even more incomprehensible that the ancient villagers are so simple that they are willing to accept outsiders to live in their houses for free!
This can basically be equated with fools in the three views of Richard’s previous life…
It is also commonly known as the defensive heart…
Good people and good people are praised role models in this era, but in the modern society full of money worship theories in Richard’s previous life, they are synonymous with fools…
Of course, Richard, who is in a high position, still can’t feel this kind of simple folk customs. Compared with folk customs, the officialdom is undoubtedly darker.
The darkness of the court forced Yue Fei to take the step of destruction. After Yue Fei’s main force was exhausted, Richard immediately got the news.
Without continuous earthen fortresses as temporary strongholds and retreats, Richard immediately mobilized the 10,000 Lancers he had already hidden!
This is what Richard spent a year in tax redemption!
In the previous combat, the Lancer’s performance is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
The cuirassiers have sufficient defensive power, but not enough impact power, and because they carry too much weight, they cannot run long distances.
Dragoons have no impact at all, and can only be used as an auxiliary unit to fight black spears. Only the Lancers are the most eye-catching on the frontal battlefield!
And what Richard lacks most now is the charge cavalry on the front battlefield!
Not surprisingly, Yue Fei’s main force encountered the Ming army, which had brought together artillery troops.
This time Yue Fei did not evade, because the Ming army was very weak.
There were only more than two thousand infantrymen, all of whom served as artillery guards.
The artillery was 30 cavalry guns, 10 Congreve rockets, 206-inch howitzers, and 10 Parker guns.
