Chapter 413 Pei Xingjian's Ambition
Except for wars against foreign enemies, any war of aggression is a war aimed at looting wealth.
However, when it came to the justice of the war, Yun Chu didn't take it seriously. Since he was from Datang, the aggressive war launched by Datang was just to him. As for the excuse of justice, he could find any excuse.
——For example, if my pig ran away from your house, if you don’t pay it, you won’t pay it.
If you still don’t understand, let’s narrow down the scope. If my wife wants to start a power war with the neighbors to build the backyard wall, I will definitely help my wife and spare no effort.
Great talents will stand above the sky, look at the true face of human war with compassionate eyes, strip away the boring emotions of human beings, and then point directly at war itself with rational and straightforward eyes.
In Yunchu's philosophy, the wealth of one's own family is more important than the wealth of neighbors is greater than that of the township, the county, the province, and the wealth of the country is more important than the wealth of everyone.
This is Yun Chu's human nature.
In the cross talk story, the old man Wang hates the poor and wants to send them forty miles away. This is not a joke at all, but human nature.
Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Gao Kan, Qibi Heli, these people just showed this human nature a little more nakedly.
Yunchu, gentle people just put this fucking human nature on a fig leaf.
Therefore, as long as I don't let others see my evil deeds, it means that I have no evil deeds.
Feel free to join this group, everyone does this, this is the real universal value.
After following Yun Chu, Zhang Donghai carefully visited and weighed this huge warehouse, only then did he realize how much evil he had done in Goguryeo with these two.
He keenly noticed that many gold and silver jewelry were still stained with blood.
"There are almost 70 guan here, and when you arrive in Chang'an, it is estimated that the money here will exceed 80 guan.
Gentle estimates that when spring comes in Liaodong and everything recovers, there should be more money here, and you can explain this to His Majesty.
During this Eastern Expedition, the treasury, treasury, and even His Majesty's private treasury are probably empty.
However, in my opinion, it is a good thing that the imperial court has consumed so much money and food. Money will not disappear, it will only be spent from one place, and then replenished from another place.
Therefore, I have made it very clear in the memorial, please don't worry about the protracted Eastern Expedition, and don't worry that the Eastern Expedition will cause Tang Dynasty to become impoverished.
The money spent by His Majesty is actually settled in the hands of the people, and the consumption caused by this Eastern Expedition will be paid for by Goguryeo's 700-year savings.
If His Majesty calculates the gains and losses of money before launching a war in the future, then militarism may become a new way for Datang to develop financial resources.
The ancients said not to fight unjust wars, but Yun Chu believed that Datang should avoid fighting fruitless wars. "
Taking advantage of the fact that he was rich and the emperor was short of money, Yunchu tried to instill his irrational and human thoughts into the emperor's heart.
This time Zhang Donghai was appointed by Yunchu as a special envoy, and he returned to Chang'an with Yunchu's secret performance, and told the emperor that he still had a lot of money and was sleeping in the warehouse in Dahang City.
Zhang Donghai suspected that Yunchu already knew that he was a secret spy, but since Yunchu didn't say it clearly, he couldn't expose his identity.
However, he was very clear about the significance of Yunchu's sending him back to Chang'an as a special envoy this time, so he agreed to the matter without thinking.
It was only at this moment that Zhang Donghai understood why Yunchu had painstakingly classified himself into the civil service system.
Because, this money cannot fall into Li Ji's hands.
Money is actually the fertilizer that can make all the crops grow taller. If the generals group gets this money, the generals' forest will grow into an existence that can block out the sky and block out the sun.
The education Yunchu received told him that military generals are like swords, and only people can control the weapons, not the people who control the weapons.
Yunchu didn't want to see Datang being dismembered by the Jiedu Envoys, so he had to make preparations before the Jiedu Envoys appeared.
Zhang Donghai left by boat with twenty of his subordinates. When he left, he saw more ships waiting to enter Daxing City in the outer sea.
These people are not necessarily all Goguryeo people, but also people from Silla and Baekje.
Therefore, Zhang Donghai tends to believe Chang Shi's gentle words, that in the beginning of spring, Dahang City will definitely be able to get 100 million guan.
He decided to tell the emperor just like that.
"What is Yunchu doing?" Pei Xingjian took off his battle armor, sat wearily on the ground covered with a thick wool blanket and asked his lieutenant Wang Fangyi.
From the beginning of the conquest of Baekje, Pei Xingjian felt that he seemed to be fighting every day, fighting the Baekje army, fighting the Baekje rebels, then fighting the organized rebels, and now, fighting the Goguryeo people again.
He is very tired now.
Wang Fangyi poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for Pei Xingjian and said, "I heard that Duke Ying appointed him as the small chief of the Wuxingdao march, and he has never had any Yalushui in Liaodong. It seems that he is in charge of the food road for Yinggong and the others."
Pei Xingjian took a sip of hot sweet tea and said with a smile, "If I were Yinggong, I would also put this person in the back."
Wang Fangyi was puzzled and said: "I heard that Yunchu has the ability to bravely win the three armies. When he was in Liaodong, he conquered famous cities, passed dangerous passes, and was invincible in the battle of crossing the river. I think it's a waste to put such a fierce general in the rear."
Pei Xingjian shook his head and said: "You don't know Yunchu, although this guy has won the three armies bravely, but he is not the same as us.
I don't know why, this guy has a deep prejudice against us warriors, especially what we did in Baekje this time, I heard that he and Wen Rou also impeached us. "
Wang Fangyi asked cautiously: "The army destroyed Baekje, and then allowed the soldiers and horses under its command to plunder, this is what my Tang Dynasty has always done.
If the government soldiers are not allowed to plunder, the morale of the army will be in chaos. Isn't everyone working hard to kill Baekje just to make a fortune? "
Pei Xingjian laughed and said, "What they impeached was not our military looting, but their disdain for our rough work, which was not enough to cover the cost of our cross-sea expedition.
This guy didn't dare to mention Mr. Su by name, so he pinned all the faults on me, saying that I was a poor man with little resources and no wisdom. "
Wang Fangyi said angrily: "If he has the ability, he will do it!"
Pei Xingjian looked at Wang Fangyi and sighed: "From now on, you can tell anyone this kind of thing, but don't tell Yunchu.
After so many years, I got to know this guy well. He said that if he can do better than us, then he can really do better than us.
I don't really admire his military strategy, but this guy's ability to govern the local area cannot be compared with ten Pei Xingjian.
With him guarding the back road, we don't have to worry about the back road, and we can continue to move forward without distraction.
I believe that Yinggong also thinks so. "
Wang Fangyi shook his head and said, "The last general still doesn't believe it."
Pei Xingjian sneered and said: "When the class teacher returns to court and rewards for meritorious service, you will find that Yunchu's ranking in this battle will be higher than ours."
Wang Fangyi said angrily: "It's really better to be able to do things than to be able to do things."
Pei Xingjian laughed and said: "I used to think the same way, it doesn't matter, after you are trampled by Yun Chu a few times, you will be calm.
Leaving aside the bastard Yunchu, let me ask you, are Heizhi Changzhi and Sha Zha Xiangru willing to surrender? "
Wang Fangyi frowned and said, "This kind of person should be killed."
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "Gushi Fuxin, who even abandons his companions, should be killed. People like Black Tooth Chang Zhi and Sha Zha Xiangru are actually very useful. We must persuade him to surrender and use him for my use."
Wang Fangyi knew that it was Pei Xingjian's love for talents, but even Wang Fangyi admired Hei Chi Changzhi.
However, when Heizhi Changzhi and Sha Zhaxiangru were fighting against Pei Xingjian's onslaught in Huangshan as horns to cover Guishi Fuxin's army, Guishi Fuxin ran away with his troops and gave up the cover The responsibilities behind these two people caused them to be captured alive by Pei Xingjian after fighting hard.
Now, in Pei Xingjian's army.
Pei Xingjian took cans of tea and some naan bread to set up the tent where Heizhi Changzhi was similar to Sha Zha.
Facing the two big men lying on the bed of the military tent, he said: "Come and try this new thing. It was made by a very interesting person in our Tang Dynasty. It is now popular in Chang'an. It must not be long before you will become a person in the Tang Dynasty. an integral part of the time."
Hei Chi Chang Zhi and Sha Zha Xiangru turned over and sat up, looked at Pei Xingjian coldly and remained silent.
Pei Xingjian divided the teacups, poured the tea, and said to the two of Hei Chi Chang Zhi: "I am a rough-natured person, and I don't know how to beat around the bush and do things. As long as you become our own people, good days are yet to come."
Hei Chi Chang Zhi said angrily: "We have already surrendered to Tang, can it be that you gave the people of Baekje a good life?
Back then, as long as you treated the people of Baekje a little better, our brothers would not complain even if we died fighting for the Tang Dynasty.
Look at what you have done in Baekje. You are more cruel than the Silla people who have a deep hatred against us, and more greedy than the Goguryeo people who have always oppressed us. In this case, why did we surrender to you Tang Kingdom? "
Pei Xingjian grinned and shared the burnt yellow naan bread between the two of them, saying: "It is the tradition of the people of Tang Dynasty to destroy the country and kill the generals. When Emperor Gaozu started to establish the country, we also faced the different forces that were destroyed. How can you Baekje be an exception for doing this?
I don't hide it either, the reason why the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty conquered Baekje from thousands of miles away was to burn, kill and loot. If there were no such benefits, who would want to fight with us? "
Black Tooth Changzhi said painfully: "Soldiers of tigers and wolves, behavior of beasts, is this the practice of your Tang Dynasty?"
Pei Xingjian took a bite of the naan bread himself and said: "You think we have done too much, do you know that, just like that, some people impeach me, saying that I am a useless warrior who is too kind to the people of Baekje? He knows how to extract the marrow from the people of Baekje and win more benefits for Datang."
Black Tooth Changzhi said: "Massacre the city, burn the city, kill the city, how can you go too far?"
Pei Xingjian sighed and said, "Have you heard the legend of Dahang City?"
Heitou Changzhi said: "As far as I know, it is also a Tang general, and Daxing City was also a city captured by the Tang army. Why can the people there live and work in peace and contentment?"
Pei Xingjian looked at the black-toothed Chang Zhi and Sha Zha's resolute, sad and indignant faces with great interest, took a sip of sweet tea and said lightly: "Impeaching me as an idiot Tang official is the one you think is benevolent. The general of Dahang City, Yun Chu, the head of the Wuxingdao march!"
