Liu Yi smiled and said: "Isn't this the end? If he wants to fight, he will probably come to fight us again. Then won't we have a reason to destroy Yan in turn? At this point, do you still want to stop him?"
Xu Xianzhi said solemnly: "At that time, if the whole country is aroused and the people want to fight back and retaliate, there will be no problem. But if it is just some small-scale conflicts and harassment, even the new immigrants from the six counties of Jiangbei will not be willing to fight for it.
If we join the army and raise taxes, there is no need to fight. After all, raising troops to fight against violence is an act of raising troops to eliminate violence. If it in turn makes the people of the country have a bad life, then how can we eliminate violence and bring peace to the country?"
Liu Yi laughed: "I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I think you are becoming more and more like Tao Yuanming, but he talks about benevolence and righteousness, but is actually evil, and you really believe this. This is
In troubled times, as long as the division of the world continues, the war will never end, and the people's suffering will never end. You must understand this truth after reading so many books."
Xu Xianzhi said calmly: "I have said before that the general trend of the world will be reunited after a long period of separation. Back then, the Emperor of Zhou granted eight hundred princes and ended the war that lasted for eight hundred years. He continued to fight until people's minds were at ease and the world returned to its heart. It was just that they were separated.
In the not-too-distant Three Kingdoms period, it took hundreds of years from the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty to the three-point return to the Jin Dynasty. Now, in my opinion, the world has not yet reached the point where everyone in the world has returned and one force has an absolute advantage and can forcibly unify the world.
If we really say there is, it is the former Fu Jian who is the most likely."
Liu Yi sneered: "But Fu Jian failed, and the country perished because of it!"
Xu Xianzhi nodded: "That's it. The Han people in the south don't want to be ruled by a barbarian monarch. Even if he is a benevolent and righteous monarch, unification means change. Ordinary people may be forced to give up their farming lifestyle, and more importantly
Yes, the aristocratic families with stable manors and servants in the south will lose their current interests, so they have a unified mind and the common people work together to achieve the Feishui victory. Fu Jian did this because he did not know the destiny and went against the will of heaven.
fail."
Liu Yi softly said "Oh": "But we in Jin Dynasty are Han people, and the north is also mostly Han people, mainly farming. After we regain the lost land, we will still let the Han people in the north be the same as before. Why should they oppose us?
"
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "Because the Han people in the north, under the leadership of their respective fort masters and scholars, have been stable for decades. Even the monarchs of the Hu people, in order to maintain their rule, can allow these Han people to fortify themselves.
The castle owners will continue to keep their own territories, as long as they pay some taxes, and even military service can be exempted or exempted. Do you think our Dajin will grant such conditions if we regain the lost territory?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "Since we have regained it, we have to organize the households and the people. The land will be taken back to the court and distributed to the meritorious soldiers. Unless they take the initiative to surrender, they can be retained according to the situation. Just like how we destroyed Huan in Jingzhou this time."
It’s the same thing. Otherwise, what else are we doing with the Northern Expedition? Is it just to make these local snakes’ lives more comfortable?”
Xu Xianzhi said sternly: "Throughout the dynasties, if you want to quickly pacify the world without provoking too fierce resistance from these local snakes, you have to make some concessions, just like Qin Shihuang unified the Liuhe. If it is according to the laws of the old Qin, the land captured
To reward scholars and the common people to serve as slaves and to reward the army, I am afraid that if he lives for another two hundred years, he will not be able to unify. It is because he protected the interests of the small nobles and small landowners of the six countries, and promised that the governance of the Kanto land will still be dominated by them.
Basically maintaining the same status quo made the conquest go very smoothly, and the great cause of unification was completed within a few decades."
Liu Yi said with a smile: "But in such a country, if the central government is unable to control the local areas and makes too many concessions, problems will arise in future generations. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, but many of the long history, Sima and even county guards in Guandong are
Such a local snake, so in the end Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, and the world responded. However, the old Qin people who had not received enough benefits were unwilling to join the army to protect the country at this time, which led to the death of the Second Emperor of Qin. Do you want this?
Will it happen again?"
Speaking of this, Liu Yi curled up his lips: "Don't talk about Qin, it is another former Qin. Isn't Fu Jian the best lesson? He unified the north, but he was too tolerant to the conquered survivors, not only
The Murong family and the Yao family were still able to serve as officials and generals under him, and even the fort masters in various places in the former Yan Dynasty remained as they were. Therefore, when the former Qin Dynasty was really in trouble, these people would not save the country, but would take advantage of it. Envy.
, you have to know that people are afraid of power but not moral. If there is enough suppression ability, just like in Jingzhou now, I don't need to make too many concessions to the local snakes here, and I can still control them firmly."
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "That would require a strong garrison to suppress it for a long time, and many of the old Beifu Army soldiers who had made meritorious services and obtained fiefdoms would have to be sealed here to monitor and deter those local snakes. This would have to be
Consuming a large amount of the country's resources and military power, there should be no temptation or interference from outside forces. From a governance perspective, this is not the best policy. You yourself said that you have to let the rabbit come over and be a villain for a few years and do something to offend the local snake.
Jingzhou is stable, if high-pressure methods are so effective, why don't you do it yourself?"
Liu Yi laughed: "What a powerful Xianzhi, you are blocking my mouth with my words. You said this, what else can I do. That's all, I promise you, if I go out of Zhenjiangbei, unless I encounter
The chaos in the north you mentioned, or the situation of the Jin Dynasty's unified Northern Expedition, I will not send troops without authorization. In fact, for me, if I have the opportunity to run Jiangbei well, I will consolidate my relationship with those high-ranking families who have transferred their industries to Jiangbei.
The relationship is no worse than that of the Northern Expedition. This kid Murong Chao from Nanyan will cause trouble sooner or later, and when that day comes, it won't be too late to deal with him."
Xu Xianzhi breathed a long sigh of relief: "Very good, it seems that we have reached a consensus on all issues. After returning to the court, I will apply to be transferred to Prince Langya's palace as chief historian or to join the army. You recommend that Meng Chang be promoted to the position of Minister Zuo
In exchange for the slave being sent to the north of Zhenjiang, the slave can continue to hold the power. At the same time, he will decide the candidates for the governor of Jingzhou and the governor of Yuzhou. I believe everyone can accept this arrangement. Sima Rongqi's Western Expedition
Let him continue to fight. If he cannot defeat us, we will take the opportunity to recall him. The most suitable target for sending troops next time is Western Shu, not the barbarians in the north."
A cold light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "You can just discuss this with Meng Chang and Yu Yue after you go back. For me, the most important thing is Liu Tingyun. Only by solving her can my rear be truly stable."
Xu Xianzhi smiled and said, "Then let's solve this troublesome woman together."
