Chapter 3917: Righteousness and Strict Speech against Soldiers and Bandits

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Uncle Shen's body was trembling slightly. Liu Yu's words had begun to destroy his inner defenses, but he still shouted unconvinced: "It's not like this, it's not like this. I don't accept it, whether it's the Jin army or the Tianshi."

Taoist armies are allowed to plunder and plunder after the war. This has been the case with armies since ancient times. Why can’t I carry out plunder and plunder several times? Why should my credit be reduced?”

Liu Yu shook his head: "It is other people's business to allow robbery, but in my army, Liu Yu, it is not allowed. Since I joined the army, I, Liu Yu, have made up my mind to protect the country and the people. If we, as soldiers, rob

The common people are more vicious than the enemy in causing harm to the people, so what qualifications do we have to wear this military uniform?"

Uncle Shen said bitterly: "The people I am plundering are not the people of Jin, but the barbarians of Nanyan. Even if some of them are Han people, they are also the people of Nanyan. They have long sacrificed their lives for the barbarians and are regarded as enemy invaders."

, isn’t it okay to punish these enemy invaders? How did Liu Laozhi treat us Wu people when he led the army? Didn’t he treat us as enemy invaders? War is a matter of life and death between the enemy and us, and you, Liu Yu, need to pretend to be benevolent and righteous.

?”

Liu Yu said coldly: "It's because Liu Laozhi regarded the people of Sanwu as enemies instead of his own people, and carried out troops to plunder and plunder, that people's hearts turned towards the demon thieves and made the enemies fight more and more. Is this a good thing?

When I was in Wu, it was because of this that I refused to go with him, so I took more than a thousand soldiers who only wanted to be soldiers and did not want to be bandits to guard Juzhang, Haiyan. This matter is common to everyone in the world.

Yes, don’t you know?”

Uncle Shen's lips were trembling, and the hand holding the sword hilt was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he had fallen behind in terms of momentum.

Liu Yu looked at Uncle Shen, his eyes sparkling, and he went a step further and said in a deep voice: "Most of the people in Sanwu were only threatened and plundered by the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao, and they had no choice but to follow them, like you.

There are only a very small number of people who are willing to help the tiger, and most people just want to survive. For them, we cannot regard them as enemies at all, but we should reflect on why, as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, they are unable to protect these people."

"As for Nan Yan, the same thing applies. It was only Murong Chao who started the war. The traitors like Heipao are not innocent people. The Han people in Shannan counties are poor people who were oppressed by these Xianbei thieves.

As the King's Master, our purpose in eradicating violence and peace and order is to save these people. When the King's Master arrived, they took the initiative to surrender, filled pots with wine for our army, and cried, saying that they had met the King's Master of the same clan whom they had not seen for many years, but you

How were they treated? On the pretext that they were enemies, they robbed their villages and forced them to hand over all their food rations for military use?"

Uncle Shen gritted his teeth: "They can pay grain and taxes to the barbarians in Nanyan, why can't we, as a large army, come thousands of miles to eat something from them?"

Liu Yu said coldly: "The supply of the army has its own logistics and equipment, and people like Liu Changshi are responsible for it. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it must not be requisitioned from the local people unless they come to donate on their own initiative. This is military discipline.

We made it clear when we sent out troops, do you think you are being cunning and forcing the elders of the villages you looted to say that they volunteered, so we can't find out?"

Uncle Shen sighed: "Well, no matter what, you are right. If you want to kill me, just kill me. There is no need to find these reasons. Also, if you really ordered to kill me when I was looting the village, I would also

There’s nothing to say. If you didn’t punish me then and only accuse me of my crime now, isn’t that just trying to inflict a crime?”

Liu Yu shook his head: "The reason why I didn't attack you at that time was because we had to consider the morale and morale of the army. There are not a few troops who did what you did. If everyone had to be punished, then maybe 30% of the troops would lose their commanders and commanders.

Official, this is the Queen's forgiveness for you. It only lowers the evaluation of your victory in order to allow you to change your past and make atonement for your sins in the future. But I didn't expect that you actually hold a grudge and feel rebellious. You yourself

Didn’t you make it clear just now? Just because you are not allowed to grab money, food, and women, do you think that following me, Liu Yu, as a soldier of the Jin Dynasty, is not comfortable and enjoyable enough? "

Uncle Shen gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Yes, that's what I thought. The rules you set are that no plundering or looting of spoils is allowed, so what are we going to do with the war? Just give me some petty officials who won't hurt me.

Jue, when I return to my hometown, I still have to suffer from the contempt of the children of those aristocratic families. They don’t have to fight in battle themselves, they can get higher achievements than us by following the army, why?!"

The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up slightly and he said: "Civil and military skills are not based on performance in fighting. Generally speaking, these children of aristocratic families join the army. Although few of them fight on the front line, as military scribes and logistics supervisors,

They have all done their best. Their fathers and grandfathers collected grain and fodder in Wudi, made ordnance, and transported it thousands of miles to the front. They themselves are in the army and handle a large amount of official documents and military affairs every day. Without them, there would be nothing like what you are wearing.

, what you eat in your mouth?”

"When Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, conquered the world and ascended the throne of God, he judged the heroes. In the end, the first heroes were not his generals, nor the invincible and invincible soldier Han Xin, nor Zhang Liang, the strategist who strategized and won the victory thousands of miles away.

It is Xiao He, the general manager who sits at the rear and allocates rations and soldiers. This is the importance of logistics. The children of the aristocratic family, and even their families, have contributed no less to this battle to destroy Yan than those of us who went into battle in person. You can't do it because

If they don't rush to kill them themselves, they will say that their contribution is not as good as yours."

Uncle Shen sighed: "In the past few years, Wu Di's manor has returned to the hands of the noble families, and the land originally allocated to the Jingba soldiers in Jianyi has returned to the hands of their previous masters.

, are they also relying on fighting some kind of war to gain benefits? "

Liu Yu said calmly: "Because the Great Jin is the Great Jin, the titles and lands given before must be recognized. I did stipulate the rule that no one will be given a title unless he has merit, and he will not be an official if he is not a title, but that is only for those who will get the title in the future.

, for the aristocratic families that already had titles and land deeds, the court still protects and recognizes their interests!"

"The children of aristocratic families who were killed in the Tianshi Dao Rebellion, if they are extinct, will be inherited by the same clan. Unless the entire family is extinct, the title and land will still be valid during their lifetime, but when

If the next generation's title is downgraded, then the excess land will be taken back to the country."

"Uncle Shen, if I suddenly turned against you and refused to recognize your previous military exploits and titles, because you no longer go to the battlefield, and gave these family properties to newly-deployed soldiers, how would you feel?!"
