Chapter 1025 Quan Ji's Thoughts
Quan Ji looked at Yu Shang and asked softly: "What did Commander Yun say before he died in battle?"
"Yun Shuai and I discussed why Dayu was able to rise in just a few years, and why I, Dayan, turned from strength to decline!"
"Why?"
Yu Shang sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "Looking at the general trend of the world, my country, Da Yan, is strong while other countries are weak, threatening the world. But now our national power is declining, and we are even in danger of being destroyed. Why?"
"First, from the perspective of the external environment, at that time, Dayu was facing threats from Donghuai, Nanman, Mobei Bayi and our Dayan. It could be said that he was besieged on all sides."
"Our country, Dayan, is prosperous and our western territory is stable. We have been actively conquering Dayu and Dayi, but why are we gradually attacking and defending Yi Xing?"
When Quan Ji heard Yu Shang's words, he also sighed with regret: "I don't know this. Four years ago, our army, Da Yan, shocked the world. Our attack on Da Li even reached the banks of the Li River and occupied half of the country!"
"But every time there is a critical opportunity, there is always a defeat on the battlefield, or the will of the DPRK and the Central Committee is shaken."
"There are hundreds of officials in the court with complex factions and excessive selfishness."
"Although Your Majesty has the desire to conquer the world, he has no intention of attacking other countries!"
"There was even a bilateral or even trilateral war!"
"If I, Dayan, were really determined to destroy Li, and would use all the strength of the country to suppress the territory with millions of troops, even if Dayu came to help, Dayi would have been destroyed by my hands long ago."
"pity……"
Quan Ji sighed. His Majesty was too indecisive and did not have the courage to start a national war!
He always likes to play with balance, and has made several conquests, but each time his vitality is seriously damaged, and he has suffered several defeats in a row, which has led to domestic and foreign troubles.
"Not only that!"
Yu Shang shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The foreign expeditions for years have depleted the country's strength, and it has even been disrespectful in foreign wars. It has not only lost military and horse resources, but also the hearts of the people."
"In the past few years, if we have not carried out external conquests, can I, Da Yan, force me to do so?"
"No!"
Yu Shang asked herself and answered: "If we do not conquer foreign countries, we, Dayan, can accumulate national strength, but it is completely impossible to rise like Dayu in just a few years."
"Therefore, it's not that I, Dayan, has become weaker, but that Dayu has become stronger!"
"The strength of Dayu lies in unifying the will of the central government, and the key to this is the establishment of imperial guards."
"Since Ning Fan came to power, he has been rectifying the government internally, selecting talents and talents, reforming the central government, and investigating and punishing corrupt officials!"
"Externally, Ping Nanman completely solved the southern border troubles, conquered Donghuai, and incorporated the entire Donghuai land into Dayu's territory."
"As for the northern border, we defeated Hunu and Mobei in succession, and there was another battle at Xuanjian Pass in the western border, which destroyed our army of 400,000 Da Yan!"
"Since then, Dayu's rise has been unstoppable!"
"Juniors have analyzed Dayu's chain. The strength of Prince Yu has made the Jin Yiwei directly become a sharp sword hanging over the heads of hundreds of officials in the court to strengthen the centralization of power."
"The key to Dayu's prosperity lies in his emphasis on commerce and construction of industry!"
"Dayu's products that sold well in the Central Plains accumulated a huge amount of wealth for them."
"This is how we expand our army."
After hearing what Yu Shang said, Quan Ji's face also showed a trace of deep shock.
Over the years, his eyes have been on the court, but he never expected that Dayu would do so many things in just a few years!
"But the most terrifying thing about Dayu is not in the court, let alone in the army!"
"But among the people!"
Yu Shang continued to speak, with a hint of longing in her eyes: "Nowadays, the people of Dayu are the people's favorite. They praise his court and respect Ning Fan as a god."
"I don't know if the Prime Minister can hear it, but Dayu invented a mysterious printing method for printing books, which can print hundreds or thousands of copies of a book in one day!"
"And Dayu's court has implemented the imperial examination system since last year, which completely broke the monopoly of aristocratic families and allowed them to select talents from the private sector."
"It's extremely scary."
"hiss!"
Quan Ji took a deep breath and said with a sad look on his face: "Why should such a dynasty be unified?"
As soon as he said this, Li Xiang looked at Quan Ji blankly, Prime Minister, you are from Dayan, how can you speak for the enemy?
Yu Shang also nodded with deep understanding: "I, Da Yan, are about to collapse the building now!"
Hearing what the two said, Li Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Is it true that I, Da Yan, are in danger of destroying the country?"
"Danger of annihilation of the country?"
Yu Shang's face was full of bitterness, and she sighed: "In just over half a year, Dayu occupied nearly one-third of my land in Dayan!"
"Now that their troops are at their peak, I, Da Yan, can only be forced to defend."
"The land of Gyeonggi is even more chaotic, and there must be the shadow of Black Ice Platform behind it."
"The court is full of corruption. The princes are loyal and loyal, but they don't think about strategies to strengthen the country or save the country. They moan and criticize each other every day!"
"The food shortage among the people is getting worse day by day, and the people's morale has been lost. How can we, Da Yan, avoid subjugating the country?"
"Be careful!"
Li Xiang also had a trace of cold sweat on his face after listening to Yu Shang's words.
Is this something they can talk about?
"Yushang, in your opinion, how should I, Da Yan, save myself?"
"Self-rescue?"
Yu Shang pondered for a long time, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Prime Minister Quan, the good opportunity has been lost!"
"Now that I, Da Yan, want to change my decline, I can only scrape my bones to cure the poison, but does your Majesty have that kind of courage?"
"Power in the DPRK is dispersed, no one in the army is available, and even the academy has been destroyed."
"The foundation of Dayan has been lost!"
Quan Ji also sighed deeply, his eyes gradually became firm: "A group of fierce bandits emerged in the eastern suburbs, Fu Yan personally led more than a thousand officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, but now his whereabouts are unknown!"
"I am going to recommend you to take charge of the Yanlong Guard, what do you think?"
Hearing Quan Ji's words, Yu Chang paused for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Even if Yu Chang came forward, it might be difficult to reverse the decline!"
"Just do your best."
"Prime Minister, has anyone attacked you in the past two days?"
"Yes!"
Quan Ji's eyes also flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "The Black Ice Platform has set its sights on me. They are afraid of me. Husband."
"As long as I am alive, my Dayan court will not be broken!"
"Now, they have been poisoned and assassinated one after another, and have been rude one after another, but I guess they will never give up."
"Yeah!"
Yu Chang nodded in agreement, looked at Quan Ji, and said softly: "Prime Minister, if that's the case, why don't you go to a safe place?"
"Yeah?"
"The palace!"
Quan Ji thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't go!"
"If I retreat, the situation will begin to shake."
"After the Quan Ye incident, I have become a rat crossing the street!"
"Alas!"
"The plan of the Black Ice Platform is very poisonous and there is no solution!"
