Chapter 2787 Wuling Nanban looks forward to peach blossoms, Zhu Huan decides to pay Liushui
Although Zhuge Liang proposed to take advantage of the opportunity of Wuxi Man to seek refuge in Jiangdong, the root cause of the real fluctuations is not Wuxi Man's double-mindedness, but Jiangdong's tax increase on Manyue.
And the reason for this tax increase...
In fact, it is more or less related to Fei Qian.
Pull the roots of leeks and kill the chicken to get the eggs. Everyone knows the truth, but they forget it when they eat it.
Jiangdong has been doing it all the time regarding Wulingman’s taxation.
Is it good to increase taxes?
In fact, everyone knows that it is not good to increase taxes at will, but the problem is that spending money is very fun. It is always fun to spend money all the time. If you can spend countless money, it is endless fun.
Unfortunately, making money is hard and hard work.
So when a group of gentry children who only think about how to enjoy themselves and how to spend money, don’t know how to be frugal, avoid hard work, and don’t want to face difficulties climb to a high position, the rest is the most direct path...
In order to stabilize social security and obtain military resources, the Jiangdong regime forced a large number of Shanyue to relocate from mountainous areas to flat land, and sent their men into the army to fight in the army. The living habits, language and clothing of the Yue people were also forcibly changed in the process. Jiangdong also gave this process a special name to indicate that it was completely different from Huqi's enlightenment, and it was called "Conghua".
Did you see that there is "teaching" in Guanzhong, and Jiangdong is on a higher level, directly "following", how good? This is a completely different concept, this is a brand new development, this is definitely not a copy of Smecta.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the different attitudes of the three regions, or the three countries in history, towards the surrounding minority tribes. On the whole, among the Three Kingdoms, each regime still maintains a certain degree of oppressive power over the surrounding ethnic minorities, but after the world returned to Jin, the Sima family messed around...
The Cao Wei regime in history was in contact with the border troubles of the Han Dynasty, such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, as well as Shi, Qiang, Jie, Dingling, etc., basically all nomadic peoples with certain strength, for For these ethnic groups, the policy adopted by Cao Wei is to suppress the strong and support the weak, to divide and disintegrate, to fight simultaneously, and to respond flexibly.
There are big sticks and carrots, both attack and political means. For example, on the issue of the resettlement of the Southern Huns, Cao Wei did not blindly attack, but used political means to divide them into five divisions, and then control them separately. In terms of specific management, on the one hand, the nobles of various ministries were selected as the commanders, and on the other hand, they were appointed as the Sima of each ministries. The commander-in-chief was the supreme commander in name, but in fact the Sima controlled the power. control.
As for the more powerful Xianbei, Cao Wei avoided direct conflicts and specially set up a Xianbei captain to manage Xianbei affairs. When Xianbei was divided into three, Cao Wei used means to provoke internal conflicts, causing Xianbei to become enemies and attack each other.
Cao Cao's big stick was wielded most ruthlessly, of course, against ethnic groups such as Wuhuan and Goguryeo before the stick, especially against the minorities such as Shi, Qiang, and Hu who were attached to Shu and opposed Wei. and other means.
The national strategy of the Shu Kingdom in the southwest direction, thanks to Mr. Luo's development, can be known to more people in future generations. However, judging from the historical situation, compared with Cao Wei and Soochow, the problems faced by the Shu State are more complicated for the ethnic minorities. In response to this complicated situation, Zhuge Liang put forward the idea of "Harmonizing Zhu Rong in the west and Fu Yiyue in the south" in "Longzhong Dui", which became the basic strategy for dealing with ethnic minorities after the founding of the Shu Han.
In addition to Meng Huo in Romance, Ma Chao in history became General of the Five Tigers under this policy, and even Jiang Wei's effectiveness in it...
These effects have indeed promoted the Shu Kingdom to a certain extent. At least during Zhuge Liang’s first Northern Expedition, the three prefectures of Nan’an, Tianshui, and Anding in the northwest region responded positively. It also played a key role in this process.
Eastern Wu, compared with Cao Wei and Shu Han, is a bit weirder in dealing with these ethnic issues.
Or most incredible.
If compared with Cao Wei, these frontier ethnic groups in Soochow are undoubtedly weaker. Compared with Shuhan, Soochow will appear to be a bit more diverse, because the ethnic minorities in Soochow are mainly barbarians and descendants of Baiyue. Like the complex environment around the Shuhan, there are Hu in the north and barbarians in the south. So Soochow should be relatively comfortable on the whole, but Soochow has almost never stopped.
Of course, if you insist that Baiyue is a hundred "Yue", then you can...
Almost all the famous generals of Soochow participated in the war against Baiyue.
The more you type, the more questions you have.
There are rebellions every year, varying in size.
Soochow is not without consolation, but the object of consolation is often the more remote Jiaozhi area. For these Baiyue who are closer to Yangzhou, Soochow's attitude is not very friendly.
This caused the entire Jiangdong to fall into a vicious circle. On the one hand, Jiangdong needed Yue people to supplement its military resources, and on the other hand, the whole strategy was extremely unfriendly to these Yue people. Think about it, the general of the Eastern Wu burned the village of the Yue people, killed the relatives and friends of the Yue people, and then robbed the wives and daughters of the Yue people, and now he wants the Yue people to fight for Dong Wu...
Ghost knows that when these Yue people get the knife and wait for the opportunity, will they stab the enemy army on the opposite side first, or directly stab the chrysanthemum of their own general?
Therefore, in Soochow's war mode, the generals of these animals must maintain a large number of private soldiers, and the Yue people are cannon fodder. Under such a military structure, no matter how many people there are, as long as a situation similar to Zhang Babai occurs, Sun Shiwan's defeat is inevitable.
This kind of hidden danger has always existed in Jiangdong, and it has always been hidden in the hearts of officials big and small in Jiangdong, making it inevitable that their behavior will sometimes have various contradictory phenomena and different choices.
The ugly appearance of Sun Quan in the power struggle this time is not purely due to military factors, nor can it be said that Sun Quan is responsible for it alone, but that there are too many strange things in Jiangdong, and Jiangdong people are still used to it, or even though I don't think it's right, but if I think it's too difficult to change, I don't change it at all.
This has led to Jiangdong officials having different attitudes towards Sun Quan. Some people believe that Sun Quan will come back sooner or later, but some people have some concerns about Sun Quan, and some people don't care about Sun Quan at all, as long as he can make money...
Among those who oppose Sun Quan, basically their opinions are concentrated on Sun Quan's "false emptiness". You know, even if you don't judge heroes by success or failure, when Sun Quan was in power, he did those stupid things, conquering Jiangbei, and tens of thousands of people died because of it, but it didn't bring any direct benefits to Jiangdong, even for a long time. I can't even occupy those places, but just plundered those sites. This is not killing the chicken to get the eggs. What is it for a moment of quick tongue?
Without a long-term vision, without a long-term strategy, it seems like a child's play, so if you say you want to fight, you have to fight. How can such a Jiangdong monarch allow the generals and counselors in Jiangdong to trust their bodies and minds? In the hearts of these Jiangdong middle-level personnel, what are they thinking? What consequences will such a situation lead to?
Perhaps Sun Quan didn't think about these issues, or maybe Sun Quan thought about them, but he didn't care. But what is very interesting is that the issues Sun Quan cares about are not actually the most important. On the contrary, the issues he ignores are related to the direction of the overall grand strategy.
Sun Quan’s motionless is a lofty dream, and then he will attack from the north and the south, advance in multiple directions, etc., but in actual operation, the hand speed is 250, and the damage is 2.5 at first glance...
But the problem is that those people in Jiangdong who oppose Sun Quan only have opinions but no suggestions, and they can't even find a unified leader for their own opinions. , easily used actions to maintain the stability of Jiangdong, forcing the Jiangdong nobles to give up their pursuit of Sun Quan and obtain other compensations.
But this does not really solve the potential contradictions in Jiangdong, it just temporarily unifies the voice.
And this temporary unity, with the passage of time, crumbling...
There are many Jiangdong people who are really worried about this situation and consider the future development, and Zhu Huan may be one of them.
Wuling Man is unstable, the biggest reason is not Wuling Man, but Jiangdong itself.
But the problem is that these gentry rulers in Jiangdong themselves don’t think so...
They even sent Qin Bo, who was originally a subordinate of Sun Quan, to "inspect" the Wuling area again to deal with this problem, or...
"Back the blame".
Just like Cao Cao had Lu Hong and Zhao Da, and Sun Quan also had Lu Yi and Qin Bo. These people shrank their heads and hung their tails for a while when Sun Quan handed over the power, but now Qin Bo got a new appointment.
Of course, this appointment is not groundless, after all, Qin Bo also went to this area before to investigate the rebellion of Wulingman and others.
It's just that the Manyue rebellion last time was fake.
This time, is it true.
Zhu Huan disdained Qin Bo and others. But Zhu Huan also knew that this was also Sun Quan's difficulty. Zhu Huan can understand, but does not support.
Sun Quan wanted Jiangdong's support, but he couldn't let go of his own decency. He also wanted to make adjustments and changes in personnel affairs through the different voices of the gentry. There is really no better way. Perhaps when Sun Quan really wins in the military and regains his dignity, then he will also be obeyed by the Jiangdong nobles, and then he will have the opportunity to do what Sun Quan wants to do...
But wishes are all beautiful, but in fact they are all cruel. Zhu Huan felt that Sun Quan's biggest problem was still hasty actions rather than purposeful planning, and the difference between the two was like cloud and mud.
Zhu Huan supports prudence and opposes rashness, so he still does not welcome Qin Bo's re-investigation of the Wuling Man Rebellion this time, but he cannot refuse.
Qin Bo came, smiling, with a very low attitude, and he praised Zhu Huan, "I heard that the general is an open-minded and straightforward person. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation..."
Zhu Huan sneered in his heart, but he didn't say anything specifically, he just folded his hands and waited for Qin Bo to finish speaking before saying, "Qin Zong, what orders do you have for coming here this time?" 』
『I dare not obey this order. Qin Bo rolled his eyes, "Since the sixth year of Taixing, there have been frequent incidents in Wuling, South Vietnam, cross-border robbery, hunting and wounding. Cloth, salt, pig iron, horses, etc. are even more common. In addition, the villages of the Wuling Man were even more eager to move. Although there were local condolences and suppression, it was not uncommon for officials to be killed and their wealth exposed, causing the local counties and villages to suffer unspeakably. 』
Qin Bo's face was sincere, "The general must also know that the garrison in this county is weak, and it is quite difficult to deal with ordinary bandits, and it is even more powerless to suppress the South Vietnamese barbarians." The current situation in Wuling County, even if it is said that "government orders do not leave the city walls", it is by no means an alarmist statement, especially since this winter, the situation has worsened. Not only is the rampant chaos in South Vietnam becoming more and more serious, but also the hussars Sichuan and Shu soldiers gathered in the Yufu area, which seems to be eyeing our Jiangdong... The situation is very dangerous. Firstly, it can be used to determine the situation, and secondly, it can be used by the military... I don’t know what the general thinks? 』
Speaking of this, Qin Bo stopped, drinking some syrup, while secretly observing Zhu Huan's expression. But to his surprise, Zhu Huan almost didn't think deeply at all, and asked directly: "The governor and Mr. Zhang have reached a resolution on the use of troops in the Southern Barbarians?" 』
Qin Bo was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled a little awkwardly: "This matter...has not yet been decided...After all, the military needs to be cautious, so it should be carefully considered...I came here to ask the general in order to make a decision earlier..."
Zhu Huan nodded and remained silent for a long time. He has already heard the news, and he has thought about it carefully. He already has a plan in his heart, and now he just needs to reorganize the language. He lowered his head and thought, Qin Bo didn't speak, and seemed to be holding their own syrup, drinking and waiting with a flat face.
After a long time, Zhu Huan said slowly: "I think it is inappropriate to use troops in South Vietnam. 』
Qin Bo's eyebrows twitched suddenly, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhu Huan, and asked after a long time: "Is there any basis for the general's judgment?" 』
"have. ’Zhu Huan replied in the affirmative.
Zhu Huan's reasoning is very simple. For the Wuling Man, or the South Vietnam Barbarians on a larger scale, it is unlikely that they will have the strength to start a full-scale war with Jiangdong, nor will they have such determination, so there will be no rebellion. Any huge range of fluctuations will only spread within a certain area.
In addition, the enemies of Jiangdong are not these South Vietnamese people themselves, but should pay more attention to the situation in the Central Plains. After all, if there is news from the Central Plains, it is often half a year before they want to reach Jiangdong. This kind of lag in news may even occur when there is an excellent opportunity, from the occurrence of the incident to the time when Jiangdong prepares to send troops to make some money. new changes.
Looking back at Jiangdong’s own military system, it is simply impossible for regional military forces to gather together to act without authorization. Even if there is an assembly, it is just a gathering of young and strong in some counties and counties, and only these young and strong want to attack the city? The situation of Wulingman in South Vietnam was the same. Zhu Huan didn't think that Wulingman could gather as many people in such a period of time. As long as the rebellion was controlled within a certain range, it would be harmless.
In the Wuling area, there are many mountains and dense forests, and you can only walk on two legs. Even if Wuling Man wants to hook up with more people from South Vietnam, even if he doesn't talk about the time spent on the road, he still needs to discuss some interests. Regarding the issue of distribution, when the negotiation is settled and the rebellion is coordinated, I am afraid that Zhuang He will be able to receive two or three seasons.
Under such circumstances, why does Jiangdong need to assemble a large army to carry out encirclement and suppression?
As for smuggling, or military use, Zhu Huan felt that it was actually an excuse.
Could it be that Wuling barbarians stopped smuggling, and neither did other South Vietnamese barbarians, not to mention that the largest smuggling group in Jiangdong is not Yueren, okay?
Zhu Huan finally said: "The Wuling Rebellion was nothing more than a few tribal incidents, and then spread... Not to mention how many rebels there are, even if it takes time and effort to go to the Qing Dynasty, what good will it do for Jiangdong?" 』
"Wuling area, if you want to encircle and suppress, you need at least 30,000 soldiers and horses, regardless of the equipment and military pay, just the transportation of food and grass... In addition, the spring rain is coming, and the roads are difficult. If Wuling is hiding in the mountains and forests, it will be difficult There is nothing to do. Zhu Huan slowly came to a conclusion, "Therefore, it is not a war." 』
Qin Bo's expression was a little bit worried about Zhu Huan's direct remarks.
Qin Bo was still very excited when he came, because he felt that this was an opportunity for him to raise his head again, but now such an opportunity was cut off by Zhu Huan directly, as if he said to his face that Qin Bo was so big It's useless to run all the way here...
Qin Bo wanted to criticize some of Zhu Huan's speech flaws, but after all, he didn't know much about military affairs, and he didn't know much about the situation in South Vietnam, so he couldn't find any specific inadequacies in Zhu Huan's words. , but if he didn’t say anything, just went back in such a despondent way, and had to go back to that kind of life with his tail between his legs, then Qin Bo would not be reconciled, so he thought for a long time before he said hesitantly : "What the general said is also reasonable... It's just that the Wuling rebellion, killing officials and robbing villages, is it not a lie?" Even though Wuling Man doesn’t have tens of thousands of rebel troops, there are still some 20,000 to 30,000 people, if they are allowed to develop and spread, it may not end well...』
The corner of Zhu Huan's mouth moved, but he didn't speak directly. He has spent more time in the army than Qin Bo, so of course he knows some things. For example, at certain times, the soldiers in charge of security will report urgently when they see trouble, and in order to alleviate some of their responsibilities, they will exaggerate some statements. The number reported is inevitably exaggerated. There are hundreds of people, and then it becomes thousands of people. When there are really thousands of enemies, it will be even more serious. The urgent report is tens of thousands. The small county town came all over the sky to cull...
Zhu Huan did not address this issue, he just added: "The Wuling barbarians rebelled, Gai Youzhi, but the number is not large, maybe more than a thousand, maybe nearly ten thousand, and it is not enough to go to war..."
Qin Bo was in a hurry, he asked directly: "Then in the general's view, could it be that he just sits idly by?" 』
Zhu Huan glanced at Qin Bo and said, "It's still the same. Going out to make a good relationship with gold, silk and property, and then promising to make great profits, divide one or two, and it can be pacified. 』This is a commonly used method, and it is also an effective model. After all, the Wulingman, like most of the South Yueman, are tribes of all sizes. Once they are divided, nothing will happen.
『…』Qin Bo was silent for a long time, then smiled wryly, “I hope it goes so smoothly…”
Zhu Huan’s strategy is close to reality, which should have been very good, but because he is too realistic, so...
