Everyone's eyes turned to Tan Daoji. Tan Daoji's shining eyes looked at Tan Pingzhi, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he stopped talking.
Tan Pingzhi smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here, Daoji. Since Brother Jinu asks you, you should answer truthfully. Say what you have to say."
Tan Daoji nodded, raised his sword eyebrows, and said: "Brother Jinu just asked a very good question. Before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. As for the army, ordinary grassroots soldiers can be recruited from the civilian population, but the core backbone, the team's regular
, officers above the rank of deputy captain need to recall veterans with combat experience. Therefore, if there is a war in the Jin Dynasty, it depends on whether to recruit those who have participated in the Battle of Feishui and the Northern Expedition in Jingkou and Wudi.
Those veterans have been recalled again, one more time, to see if it is necessary to collect grain and increase taxes in the six counties of Jiangbei."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Why are we collecting grain in the six counties of Jiangbei, rather than in the Sanwu area and Jingzhou?"
Tan Daoji sighed: "Jingzhou has always been the territory of the Huan family. Although Wang Chen has taken office now, it is impossible for him to convince the local gangsters so quickly. After all, decades of operation cannot be achieved overnight. Wang Chen
The governor also did not have enough officials to help him complete the task of collecting grain, drawing cadres, and collecting taxes. It was good to just maintain the status quo. I heard that because Huan Xuan, the eldest son of the Huan family, traveled far and wide, resigned and returned home and disappeared, the entire Jingzhou
In a state of disorder, Wang Chen's orders cannot leave the governor's office in Nanjun (Jiangling), so Jingzhou will not be considered for the time being."
"As for the Sanwu area, it is mostly the private land of those high-ranking families in Jiankang City. Their bastard tributaries have spread out there, and their manors are everywhere. In recent years, a large number of people who have moved back from the Central Plains after the Northern Expedition
Overseas Chinese and refugees have also entered their manor as villagers and tenants. In the past few years of the war, these aristocratic families contributed a lot of food and effort. Now they have to double their losses to make up for the losses in previous years. Xie Xianggong is no longer here.
It is impossible to use their power to force them to contribute, and it is obviously impossible to collect grain in the Sanwu area."
"The only places that can be moved are the six counties of Jiangbei and Jingkou. These places are mostly where the soldiers of the Beifu Army and the Northern Expedition retired and resettled. Because of their military exploits and rewards, we have a little wealth. Now there is no one to protect us. So as long as we fight
The banner of the Northern Expedition can allow veterans from these places to return to the army and their families to pay taxes. The thing that Brother Jinu said about Diao Changshi bringing people to Jingkou to collect taxes is for this reason."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that should be the case. Now the court can still make obedient people obedient, able to contribute, and those who have food and food are us veterans. Then the last question is left. You said you want us
When veterans return to the army and pay taxes, who are they going to fight?"
Meng Longfu said without thinking: "Who else? Of course it is the Northern Expedition. In recent years, the Ding Lingzhai family and the rebel general Zhang Yuan have occupied a lot of places. If we don't take it back now, how long will it take? Not to mention fighting.
Huang He, go and compete with Murong Yan, and at least recover the results of the last Northern Expedition, it’s not too much.”
As soon as Meng Longfu said this, many people nodded in agreement, with excited faces, gearing up, and eager to pick up the guy and go into battle right away.
Tan Daoji shook his head: "I don't think there will be a Northern Expedition. It is more likely that an army will be formed in the name of the Northern Expedition to prepare for a civil war."
Tan Pingzhi's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Daoji, are you drunk too much, what nonsense are you talking about here? We have such a good world in Jin Dynasty, where did the civil war come from?"
Wei Yongzhi also smiled and said: "That is, in the past, the Huan family controlled Jingzhou and could compete with the imperial court. But now the Huan family has lost Jingzhou, and even Huan Xuan is missing. How can there be any civil war?
Can we fight? Although Wang Chen's decree did not leave Jiangling City, the old Huan family tribes in Jingzhou that had lost their leaders had neither the strength nor the reputation to be enemies of the imperial court. At most, they were uncooperative and should not be called upon. To put it bluntly,
Is the civil war an exaggeration?"
Tan Daoji bit his lip and said nothing.
Liu Yu laughed and waved his hand: "Bottle, Rabbit, if you want someone to speak, you have to let him finish. After he finishes speaking, it's not too late to draw a conclusion. Why are you still so impatient after so many years?"
"
Xiang Jing laughed: "Brother Jinu, I think this guy drank too much and started talking nonsense. Don't listen to him. Let's continue drinking. In the world of Jin Dynasty, how can there be any civil war between the emperor and the two brothers?
Worry? If there is a war, it will naturally be with a foreign enemy."
Liu Yu turned to look at Tan Daoji: "Daoji, look, no one believes what you said. Shouldn't you punish yourself with three more drinks?"
Tan Daoji suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "No, Brother Jinu, I will not punish myself with alcohol, because I believe in my own judgment. If there is a new civil war, it will not be in the traditional Jiankang City.
The civil war between those high-ranking families and the Huan family forces entrenched in Jingzhou was the brotherly struggle between the emperors."
At this time, everyone's expressions changed. Tan Pingzhi jumped up from the ground and said sternly: "Daoji, are you crazy? You are talking nonsense! If people heard these words back then, everyone in our Tan family would rebel.
Discuss!"
Tan Daoji shook his head: "Those who want to start a civil war are not punished with treason, but they charge me with treason for telling this fact in private. Is there any justice in the world? Brother Jinu, are we guys from Beifu?
Even if you tell the truth about this, it shouldn’t be the case in terms of the bloody nature of the world?”
Tan Shao then said: "That's right, a while ago Brother Ashou called everyone together to prepare to go to Yan State to assassinate Murong Chui. It's okay. Uncle, are you a little too nervous?"
Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "You guys know nothing. In the past, the imperial court needed our help, and we had the support of the Xie family, so we could turn a blind eye to some things. As for assassinating Murong Chui, that was
The monarch of an enemy country, but Dao Ji keeps saying that our royal family in Jin Dynasty is going to have a civil war. This is not bad. After all, I am still your uncle, and I am also your commander in the army. See if I don't kill you, a kid who talks so much about horse racing!
"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and began to look around for a stick to hit someone with.
Liu Yu stood up slowly, took Tan Pingzhi's wrist, and said calmly: "Bottle, since it is the art of war, it involves military affairs, why don't we sit down and listen to what Daoji has to say?"
Tan Pingzhi opened his eyes wide: "Jinu, you must have believed this kid's nonsense."
Liu Yu smiled and sat down with Tan Pingzhi, looking directly at Tan Daoji: "Daoji, just say what you want to say. Soldiers have always been a major matter for the country. Good analysis and correct analysis are of great benefit to all of us in Beifu."
Man’s help, Brother Jinu supports you!” .m.
