Chapter 1446 The ideal of my poor life
Xu Tong heard Gao Zhenming's implication.

There was no need to answer this question, but since he wanted to know, Xu Tong satisfied him.

"For Daming, before asking others to do it, he has to do it himself. If he can't do it, he is not qualified to ask others to do it. So Daming will set an example and do what he asks himself to do, and then Besides, what does General Gao think?"

Gao Zhenming thought of Xu Tong's rejection of a beautiful woman just now, and his heart sank.

This kind of remark is definitely not friendly to Dali powerful people.

"You mean..."

"Daming is a country of revolution. What revolutionaries hate most is the use of power to oppress and exploit the weak."

Xu Tong smiled and said: "Since General Gao has read "Hongwu Political Theory", then I will not explain these professional terms. I have already said what should be said, and of course I will not say what should not be said. General Gao only You need to know that when it comes to revolution, Daming is serious, and so am I.”

Gao Zhenming swallowed, laughing more ugly than crying.

"I have heard for a long time that His Majesty the Emperor Daming is talented and wise, and he has such a heart for the country and the people. It is indeed a blessing for the people of the world, and it is also a blessing for us."

"It is the blessing of most people in the world, but it is not the blessing of the few remaining people."

Xu Tong smiled meaningfully: "That small group of people are vested interests under the old order, they hate revolutionary forces, even if the military strength is not as good as ours, they will always think about subverting us, making us fail, and our The mission is to eliminate them and bring justice to the vast majority of the remaining people.

It is true that we all know that this small group of people often controls the highest power and has powerful force, so Daming must have an absolute force that is countless times stronger than them, so that he can truly achieve what he wants to do. "

Gao Zhenming swallowed again, feeling his heart beat faster.

"What you said is, what you said is indeed the case. Daming is the kingdom of heaven. No one can stop what Daming wants to do. Dali will definitely follow in Daming's footsteps."

"The kingdom of heaven is also an old saying, arrogant, self-righteous, unable to see their own problems, indulging in illusions, Daming does not need this title, Daming is a red sun, have you seen our national flag?"

Xu Tong stretched out his hand and pointed to the flag of the Ming Dynasty flying in the military camp: "This flag is called the sun and the moon, the world is red, the world is red! The ideal of my generation's life, the world is red!"

Gao Zhenming raised his head and looked at the flag of the Ming Kingdom in the direction of Xu Tong's finger.

He felt that the concept of the national flag was quite new, and he had never heard of it before.

Everyone has their own flags, the flags in the army, the flags in the court, the private ones, the group ones, the sacrificial ones, and some big families also have their own flags, but there are no national flags.

Because from ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to integrate a country from top to bottom, inside and out, and find a national philosophy that allows the whole country to be unimpeded.

So of course the flag doesn't appear.

Not to mention the terrifying connotation of this Daming flag.

The sun and the moon shine together and the world is red?
This sun and moon, is it the sun and moon of Ming Dynasty, or the sun and moon of other countries?

Could it be that people on the land of Dali can't see the sun and the moon when they look up?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be that any piece of land in the world where the moon and the sun can be seen will become Daming's "red land", and is Daming's ambition for territory so terrifying?

The more Gao Zhenming thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had uncovered some terrifying secret, and always felt that something bad was going to happen.

but.

Xu Tong did not embarrass him, and even applied for awards for him, allowing him to get Daming's rewards, official positions and honors, so that he even had the identity of Daming, which made him even more puzzled, he didn't know what Daming wanted to Dali. what does the country do.

Of course, these are not important.

Because even if he knew, even if the Gao family behind him knew, they would not have the power to change this ending.

Because Daming has military power beyond the limit of Dali's imagination.

And military power is the most fundamental power in this human world.

Dali couldn't change anything, but Su Haisheng wanted to change something.

After initially acknowledging the strength of the Eighth Corps to defend the frontier and open up the frontier, Su Haisheng, who stayed in Chengdu and sat in the rear, gave Su Yonglin a presentation on the issue of military deployment.

This statement means that he has preliminarily recognized the training results and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Corps. According to the results of this war, he believes that the Eighth Corps already has the combat power to independently guard Sichuan and Shuan and further expand the frontier.

The implication is that it is of little significance for the Second Corps to continue to station troops in Sichuan and Shu. To continue to stay here is nothing but a waste of resources. The veterans of the Second Corps should be placed in a position where they are more needed.

Such as the land of the Western Regions.

Su Haisheng learned about Su Yonglin's Western Regions strategy not long ago, and he was particularly yearning for this strategy at that time.

He felt that the Western Regions strategy must have the participation of him and the Second Corps. He also took the initiative to offer advice and suggestions for the Western Regions strategy. He informed the General Staff Headquarters of what he had thought about for many years, and was commended by the General Staff Headquarters.

After Su Yonglin learned about Su Haisheng's evaluation of the Eighth Corps, he knew that Su Haisheng really wanted to participate in the Western Regions strategy to show his strength.

At the same time, the General Staff Headquarters also recognized the capabilities of the Eighth Corps and Commander Xu Tong, as well as the Eighth Corps' ability to stand on its own.

They believe that in future strategic planning, the Eighth Corps is sufficient to undertake all responsibilities.

In this context, in the middle and late April of Hongwu ten years, Su Yonglin ordered that Su Haisheng, the commander of the Second Corps, could lead the troops of the Second Corps stationed in Sichuan and Shu to return to the Guanzhong station and conduct rectification in the Guanzhong station.

They can exchange information with the Sixth Corps under the command of Jiang Liangping while rectifying, discuss what the Second Corps is currently lacking, and inform the Central Committee of any difficulties, and the Central Committee will make up for the Second Corps as appropriate to avoid delaying the war.

And from this moment on, the officers and soldiers of the Second Corps must begin to make up for the history of the Central Plains Dynasty in operating the Western Regions, understand the divisions and integrations between the Western Regions and the Central Plains Dynasty, and why Daming must send troops to the Western Regions and return to the Western Regions. reason.

They need to start from the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to operate the Western Regions, and have been talking about the gradual loss of control of the Western Regions by the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, and the tragic and solemn white soldiers of the Western Regions, and then to the short-lived rise of Zhang Yichao’s Guiyi Army.

The last is the complete loss of the Western Regions after the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

For hundreds of years, because the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties stretched too far and were crushed to death by Liao and Jin, they could not extend their power to the Western Regions, and failed to return to the Western Regions, so that there is no Western Region in the current Daming territory. .

However, the Western Regions have been the sphere of influence of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Western Han Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, a sufficient scale of official institutions was set up to garrison and manage the army, which is equivalent to the territory of the mainland.

Therefore, in Daming's view, the Western Regions is the land that Daming fell, and must be recovered.

All in all, every soldier must know the root cause of [the land of the Western Regions is originally the territory of the Central Plains], and recognize and understand that this great military operation is part of the unification of China.

This is not a pioneering war, this is a war of recovery, this is a national unification war.

Su Yonglin specially searched for relevant historical materials from the National History Museum of Xuanhui Academy, organized manpower to compile a volume of "The History of the Central Plains and the Western Regions", printed [-] copies and sent them to the stations of the Second Corps and the Sixth Corps for them to study.
