When Emperor Jing of Han looked at Tian Meng, his eyes sparkled.
He remembered that Tian Meng didn't say anything during the discussion.
"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold as to ask, what do you think the Han Dynasty lacks when it goes to war with the Xiongnu?”
Tian Qiong looked at Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and said.
Han Jing Emperor frowned and looked at Tian Meng with some displeasure. He didn't say a word in the court meeting just now, but he wasted time here to raise it.
"What do you mean? So you are advocating war with the Xiongnu?”
Tian Qiong didn't expect Emperor Jing of Han to answer his question seriously. He shook his head.
Emperor Jing of Han frowned at him.
"Your Majesty, do you think the war between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu can be avoided?”
Seeing Emperor Jing's gaze on him, Tian Qiong said without waiting for his reply,
"Absolutely unavoidable!"
"Oh, is that what you think?"
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty looked at him with some interest.
"Don't you think so, Your Majesty?”
Tian Qiong asked.
Emperor Jing of Han was silent.
Before Emperor Jing of Han could speak, Tian Meng continued,
"Even if it is not in His Majesty's hands, it will be in His Majesty's descendants who will start a war with the Xiongnu!”
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty looked deeply at Tian Meng, his eyes sharp.
"You are right. The Xiongnu are now the true enemy of our Han Dynasty. Our Han Dynasty will destroy them sooner or later!”
As an emperor, no emperor would allow his dignity to be trampled on, no emperor would allow his country to be invaded, and no emperor would allow his people to be bullied and slaughtered by outsiders!
The Xiongnu, this great enemy, would be destroyed sooner or later!
"Perhaps His Majesty might be the emperor who has made great achievements!”
Tian Meng said to Emperor Jing of Han.
"Oh? Do you think so highly of me?"
Emperor Jing looked at Tian Meng with interest. He was different from the other ministers.
Last time, it was this young man who had trusted him so much that he was able to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. In the end, it was just as this young man had said, he had indeed successfully quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
"Yes, because His Majesty is a wise ruler!”
Tian Meng nodded.
This was not a lie. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was indeed a wise ruler. Although this guy was very lecherous and a smiling tiger, he was quite good at governing the country and could listen to the opinions of the ministers. Otherwise, he would not have been able to create the 'Rule of Wen and Jing' together with his father, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
If the Han Dynasty's national strength could accelerate its development during this period, it might not be impossible to destroy the Xiongnu in the hands of Emperor Jing of Han!
"Hehe, you don't have to suck up to me and bewitch me!”
Emperor Jing of Han said with a smile. He was quite happy when he heard Tian Meng say this.
As the emperor, how could he not want to eliminate this foreign enemy who had brought humiliation to the Han Dynasty since the era of Gaozu?
Why wouldn't he want to make a great achievement?
If he just wanted to do whatever he wanted and enjoy himself, why would he work so hard to destroy the vassals and cause the trouble of the seven kingdoms?
How could he not want to wash away the humiliation that the Xiongnu had inflicted on the Han Dynasty?
However…
With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, could it be done? Would he be able to defeat the Hundred Savage Country on the grasslands?
If they were to start a war, the consequences would be unpredictable!
Especially now, the rebellion of the seven kingdoms had just ended, and the world was not completely stable yet. How could he dare to send troops to attack the Xiongnu so easily?
The Han Dynasty still had no chance of winning!
"Your Majesty, this subject is not trying to make Your Majesty happy, but I have confidence in Your Majesty, and even more so in the Han Dynasty!”
Tian Meng said.
"Is that so?"
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty muttered to himself and then fell silent.
He didn't even have confidence in himself!
"Your Majesty, this is a blueprint that I have obtained by chance. I believe it can help my Great Han Dynasty increase its strength by a lot!”
Tian Meng hesitated for a moment, but still took out the steel pouring blueprint.
"Oh? What blueprint?"
Emperor Jing of Han took it curiously and looked at it seriously.
Soon, Emperor Jing of Han's eyes widened. As an emperor, although he could not understand the craftsmanship of this steel pouring method, he understood the importance of this blueprint.
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was amazed. There was already the art of smelting steel. He had heard the general introduce it as stir-frying steel, and the introduction on the blueprint was even more brilliant than he had heard.
"With this craftsmanship, it can indeed increase the strength of our Great Han army. At the very least, our Great Han army will have a greater advantage in terms of weapons and equipment!”
Emperor Jing of Han put away the blueprints and shook his head,
"However, this alone is not enough to defeat the Xiongnu!”
"Then, Your Majesty, what do you think the Han Dynasty lacks when it goes to war with the Xiongnu?”
Tian Qiong asked Emperor Jing of Han.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was stunned and returned to the question that Tian Meng had asked him at the beginning.
He stared at the calm Tian Qiong. The more he looked at him, the more he thought about the conversation he had with Tian Qiong. He was amazed.
He understood that the young man standing in front of him clearly had an answer in his heart.
"Food, supplies, horses, soldiers, and so on are all needed for the war. With the current strength of our Han Dynasty, I'm afraid it's difficult to support it!”
Emperor Jing of Han said to him.
Tian Meng nodded slightly.
Attacking the Xiongnu was not easy. The Xiongnu were cavalry, a nomadic people who lived in pursuit of water and grass. It would be much easier for the Han Dynasty to defend with a city, but it would not be easy to take the initiative to attack.
"Your Majesty, since we lack all these and war is inevitable, why not prepare for war with all our might? Even if you can't solve the problem of the Xiongnu, your descendants should inherit your wish and completely eliminate the Xiongnu!”
Tian Meng said in a deep voice.
In an instant!
Emperor Jing of Han stared at Tian Qiong with his deep eyes. Although his words were very simple, they were extremely clear, making him suddenly understand.
"You're right!"
Emperor Jing of Han sighed deeply and said,
"That's right. We should prepare for battle with all our might!"
At this point, Emperor Jing looked at Tian Meng. He understood that his brother-in-law had many thoughts to tell him today!
"Sit down and talk!"
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty asked Tian Yan to sit down.
Tian Qiong did not stand on ceremony. After sitting down, he continued to speak to Emperor Jing of Han,
" Your Majesty, the war with the Xiongnu depends on the people's hearts and the country's strength. If the people's hearts are willing and the country's strength is strong enough, the Xiongnu will definitely be completely eliminated. Putting aside the people's hearts, in terms of national strength, money and food are the foundation…
I heard that there are many extraordinary people in the world, and there are even more talented people. There are many people who are good at farming and can increase the grain production by one or even several times through rational farming. There are also people who are good at reforming tools to increase the land for farming, and so on. If Your Majesty can discover them and reward those who contribute their skills with a large sum of money…"
Emperor Jing's eyes flickered as he listened. He was shocked and sighed in his heart. He really did not expect his brother-in-law to be so talented.
"Uncover capable people among the people and reward those who contribute their skills with a large sum of money?”
Emperor Jing of Han nodded slightly and said,
"If it was really beneficial to the country and the people, why would I be stingy with the rewards?”
Hearing this, Tian Meng smiled.
He wasn't asking for a reward for his performance in the future.
It was because he knew that the current Emperor Jing of Han did not dare and could not make up his mind to go to war with the Xiongnu!
If he directly persuaded Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to start a war with the Xiongnu, it would not work at all. He could only use other methods to make Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty make up his mind.
