The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1379 People's hearts are the Great Wall
Li Yu did have his reasons for saying this. When the Southern Tang Dynasty was established, they claimed to be descendants of Li Tang, but they were not as good as Datang Wanyi.

I think how mighty and majestic the prosperous Tang Dynasty was at the beginning, and Li Tang's reputation spread far and wide. After so many years, the Southern Tang Dynasty no longer has the domineering power of Li Tang.

Don't be domineering, it's good if you don't keep your voice low, what do you want to talk about domineering, Li Yu yelled out the most domineering voice since he was born in his ancestral temple, but the whole room has heard it, other people None heard.

"This time, we know that our naval forces in the Great Song Dynasty are quite fragile. There is no way to compare with the Southern Tang Dynasty. Our land army may be strong, but is it still helpless when it comes to water?"

Zhao Xu didn't evade his own country's navy at all, especially compared with Nantang, a country with elite navy.

"I have already asked Pan Mei to bring the former Nanhan Han navy and the former Wu Yue navy to move closer here."

"It's not that I don't trust you, but that I can't watch my soldiers suffer massive casualties anymore. If this is still the case, I hope we don't capture Nantang." Zhao Xu said immediately.

If there were no more casualties, I would rather not capture Nantang. This was Zhao Xu's attitude.

"His Royal Highness these few times were just an accident. We are fully capable of taking Nan Tang down as soon as possible. I can assure His Highness here." Cao Bin thought it was because Zhao Xu felt that their generals were unreliable!

"Cao Bin, I said, I don't believe you, you don't understand what I think, what is our purpose of unifying the world, what do you think?" Zhao Xu didn't explain anything, just asked them to say what Song wanted. What is the purpose of unifying the world, in other words, why is it necessary to unify the world first.

"Your Majesty said at the beginning that it was to make the people of the world no longer suffer from wars and chaos, and for the peace of the world." Cao Bin still remembered what Zhao Kuangyin said to his brothers back then.

"Okay, just remember. The soldiers of our Great Song Dynasty are also part of these people. To sacrifice so many soldiers to take down the Southern Tang Dynasty, His Majesty and I cannot bear it."

Cao Bin and the others stopped talking about these words and followed Zhao Xu's wishes. While training, they waited for the arrival of those people Zhao Xu said.

The south side is not peaceful, and the north side is even more disturbed. Previously, the Khitan changed an emperor, and it was a bit chaotic. Now it is finally stable, and the Khitan has something to harass the border of the Song Dynasty.

"This Khitan is really deceiving people too much. If we hadn't been at war with Nantang now, I would really have to go to conquer myself."

Zhao Kuangyin followed up with the following report. Recently, the Khitan has been harassing the borderlands of the Song Dynasty continuously. The strange thing is that there is no interference from the Northern Han Dynasty this time, which is not bad.

Without the participation of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Xu was very depressed. The Northern Han Dynasty had always followed Khitan, so what happened this time.

"Your Majesty, what I mean is that if our army finds the Khitans, we still have to pursue them. As usual, we can't let the Khitans know that we are using troops in the south. The Khitans' affairs will be resolved sooner or later."

Miao Xun stood beside Zhao Xu and said.

"In the future, Your Majesty can learn from Qin Shihuang back then and build the Great Wall at the border to prevent the nomads from intruding, so that we can save a lot of things quickly."

"No, I will never do this at any time. The Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, but did it stop the Huns? The Great Wall is always just a decoration. Zeping, do you want to know if it is a really good idea?"

The construction of the Great Wall was proposed by Zhao Pu, but Zhao Kuangyin directly vetoed it, and Zhao Kuangyin proposed a better method.

Before Zhao Pu could speak, Zhao Kuangyin continued:
"The Great Wall is just a wall, meaningless. No matter how high the Great Wall is built, the walls of our city are the same. What's the point of these walls if no one guards them?"

"I tell you, the people are the Great Wall I want, and the hearts of the people in the world are the greatest Great Wall. If the people are all toward my Great Song Dynasty, are you afraid that there will be no Great Wall?"

Zhao Pu was stunned for a while and said to himself: "The hearts of the people in the world are the Great Wall, and the hearts of the people are the biggest Great Wall."

Yes, people's hearts, people's hearts are the biggest weapon. No matter which dynasty does not have the support of the people, everything is useless. Like the Five Dynasties, countries kept changing one by one. Everything is because they did not get the people's hearts.

Zhao Kuangyin went on to say: "Do you still remember what I said at the beginning, as long as the people in the world live well, it is really good. This is also my original intention when I took the throne."

"If I don't care about the life and death of the people, regardless of the people's preferences, and the people in the world are not loyal to me, then my dragon chair will not be stable."

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he successively unified other forces, and the Great Song Dynasty gradually showed the meaning of unifying the world. These are not how powerful the Song Dynasty's army is.

Of course, it is undeniable that the army of the Song Dynasty is much stronger than the armies of other countries, but the Tang Dynasty was not strong. Everyone still misses the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but he perished in the end. All this is because Lost popular support.

It was precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty, which had existed for more than 200 years, disappeared, and the chaos of the Five Dynasties arose, which finally gave Zhao Xu the possibility of becoming emperor.

"Don't you guys understand that building the Great Wall will only waste the people and waste money. I, Song Dynasty, would not do such a thing. I have the confidence to build a big Great Wall with the hearts of the people of Song Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin was really different from other emperors. He dared to say what no emperor had ever dared to say.

"I hope that one day even the city gates in my Great Song Dynasty will not need to be closed. I only rely on the hearts of the people. I believe that my Great Song Dynasty will survive for thousands of years."

Zhao Kuangyin has strong self-confidence. He always believes that the people's hearts are the biggest Great Wall, and the people's hearts go north is the foundation of his Great Song Dynasty. This is what he has always wanted to do and is doing.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Building the Great Wall with people's hearts, this sentence also made Zhao Kuangyin a generation of Mingjun. When people in later generations commented on Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, they would only use two words: Shengming!
Zhao Kuangyin is a sage monarch who puts the people in your place. Maybe you will say that this is similar to Tang Taizong Li Shimin's water can carry a boat and overturn it, but it is much smarter than that, but Zhao Kuangyin thought of this:
That is, if there is a fatuous monarch, not only will he not treat the people well, but he will harm the people instead, but he hasn't thought of that much yet.
