Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Liu Yi has committed rebellion before, let alone becoming a governor? If nothing else, how can you do this if you recruit all your subordinates just in the name of suppressing rebellions and suppressing bandits?
Stop? Liu Yu will not let Liu Yi have the opportunity to make great achievements, but it does not mean that after the Tianshi Dao is eliminated, or before and after the Northern Expedition, Liu Yi will not be allowed to lead troops. After all, Liu Yi can be regarded as a famous general.
He is also senior in the army. At present, his brother Liu Fan is still guarding Yanzhou. If he wants to go to the Northern Expedition, it is completely okay for him to take his troops to Yanzhou to join Liu Fan. If he annexes your subordinates during the march,
Do you think you can stop it?"
The muscles on Yu Yue's face were beating: "I, I won't make the same mistake as last time. Besides, you said Luo Longsheng would help me control the army, so there's no way he can take it away from me again."
Tao Yuanming sighed: "Of course Luo Longsheng will be loyal to you and will listen to me, but you seem to have overlooked one thing, that is, the subordinates Luo Longsheng recruits may not listen to him. I said before, he
It will recruit or bribe a lot of stragglers, and many of these people are former Jin army soldiers from the Jiangzhou and Yuzhou legions. After the army collapses, they have nowhere to go. Sometimes they simply join the demon thieves. If the demon thieves are gone,
These people will also find ways to break away from the ranks of demon thieves and rejoin the official army."
"Liu Yi, as their old superior and chief, if Liu Yu is restricted to the capital for a while and Liu Yi is not allowed to lead troops to attack, then these people will not be able to return to Liu Yi's subordinates. After all, Luo Longsheng's identity belongs to the imperial court.
General, if you have the title of governor, general, etc., then returning to your service is their only chance to make a new life and get pardon. This is what I said, Luo Longsheng has the ability to quickly raise an army.
The reason is that these people want to return to the Jin army, so turning to you is the best choice."
"But what do you think of your Yu Gong's military ability compared with Liu Yi? In the hearts of these veterans who have fought many battles, who do you think they will be more attracted to?"
Yu Yue's face turned red and she gritted her teeth: "Of course I know that in terms of fighting, I am not as good as Liu Yi, but I can give these soldiers better treatment. Our Yu family has plenty of money, so I can
, I can give them generous military pay and treatment, which Liu Yi cannot give."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Yugong, this is your fault. For soldiers, you cannot use simple money to buy to judge the military morale. These people are many of Liu Yi's old troops, even Liu Yu,
I'm afraid it won't be easy to completely integrate them. Following you is just a temporary expedient. If you stay in the army, it will not be for money, but to have an identity temporarily and to be pardoned, or in other words, to stay.
They have to be useful and wait for Liu Yi's return. Only by following Liu Yi can they have the confidence to win and the possibility of fighting again to gain the honor they lost before."
"Your Yu family is indeed rich, and you can indeed give them more money and food, but what they want is to serve in the military, get a title, and then return home with honor. Can you give them the military honors and titles they want?"
Yu Yue's face turned ashen, and sweat began to form on his forehead: "This, this can only be given by the imperial court's system. I can't give or take it privately. However, if I spend more money, I can let them do it in their own country."
Buying a farm and a house wherever you want. Isn't this kind of reward for meritorious service, marrying a wife and having children after returning home, not what the soldiers want? At least, at least the traitors I brought out from Wu Di followed me before going out to the war.
They said, this is what they want. It’s just for money, and only when you have money can you buy land and property.”
Tao Yuanming laughed: "If money can really buy everything, then why did you say that when these people betrayed you and tied you up and handed you over to Zhu Chaoshi, you said you were willing to give them a lot of money, and even gave them money filled with gold and silver ingots?
The boxes are piled in front of them, but no one cares about them?"
Yu Yue was immediately speechless. This was a shameful and humiliating thing that he had never understood. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then please give me some advice from Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "This involves people's hearts. As ordinary farmers and tenants, when they set out from Wudi and when you first recruited them, they had a very simple thought. They were to serve the Yu family for generations.
If there is a chance for the domestic slaves and villagers to get rid of their status as tenants and return to the common people of the imperial court, that would be their greatest wish. If you bring them out to join the army, you will give each of them the status of a citizen of the Jin Dynasty.
, From now on, they are no longer a hidden house where no one can find this person. I’m afraid Yu Gong didn’t think of this.”
Yu Yue said bitterly: "It's not that I haven't thought about it. This person has been registered as an official in the Jin Dynasty since I didn't find him. This is a great favor I gave to these traitors, but they still betrayed me. This is because I didn't
I want to understand."
Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Yu Gong, you think that although these people have status, their families, wives and children are still in your manor, and they are still hidden households and slaves who have not been found. If you control these people, you can
Let the soldiers on the front line obey orders obediently, but you have forgotten one thing. These people have been fighting with you for a year and have seen the outside world. For the first time, they are human beings, not talking animals of your Yu family.
And alive, so they have the thoughts of normal people, they no longer accept things, and they want to act according to their own will. If you continue to control them like pigs, dogs, dogs and sheep, you will beat, scold and humiliate them at every turn, and you will
They carry out your orders unconditionally, and your orders are issued by the servants who bully others. These people will only bully these soldiers even more. People are angry, and when they can't bear it, there is no need to continue.
Tolerate!"
Yu Yue waved her fist fiercely: "When I return to Wu, I will take double revenge on the families of these traitors. Hum, I will sell them all to that miasmatic land to work as cattle and horses, and exhaust them to death!"
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "Before the change, you could do this, but now that Liu Yu is in power, you really think it's still possible to sell thousands or tens of thousands of women and children like this? Not to mention that these people are hidden people.
Household, it is basically your Yu family who has concealed the population for many years, which is a violation of national law. Even if you really want to do this, can these soldiers who are now under Zhu Chaoshi endure it? I am afraid they will directly mutiny. If things get serious, Liu Yuding
I will punish you for your sins, but I'm afraid your entire Yu family will be uprooted by then. Mr. Yu, you should think twice before you act, and don't risk your own path!" ()
