Liu Muzhi sneered and said: "You are a white wolf with nothing. You didn't provide any soldiers or food, but you used the resources of the Yu family to make Yu Yue take advantage of you. In the end, you made a contribution, and
, even if it is Luo Longsheng who is responsible for recruiting and managing the army, what benefits can he get? "
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "If everything goes well and Yizhou is captured, then Luo Longsheng will use his military merits to become a Xiyi captain and manage Yizhou's military. There will be no problem. I will be the governor, and he will be in charge of the army. If we cooperate with each other, they will
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to settle down in Yizhou?”
Liu Muzhi curled his lips: "I almost forgot that Luo Longsheng's ancestor Luo Shang was the governor of Yizhou. When the Yongjia Rebellion began, Luo Shang was defeated by the refugee uprising of Li Te.
Although he killed Li Te, he was defeated by his nephew Li Xiong and expelled from Yizhou. After that, the descendants of the Luo family were forced to live in Jingzhou. The Luo Longsheng branch was even worse. In the chaotic civil war in Jingzhou during those years
, was forced into the mountains where Shanyue of the Xi tribe is located, and became one of their tribesmen. No wonder Luo Longsheng listens to you so much. It turns out that he has a similar experience to you, and also has the dream of restoring the glory of his ancestors. This idea of counterattacking Yizhou
, it’s his.”
Tao Yuanming nodded: "Yes, just like I can't forget the glory of Kan Gong, Luo Longsheng can't forget the influence of these Luo ancestors in Yizhou from Luo Xian, a famous minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, to Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou.
He wants to have the strength to fight back to his hometown and honor his ancestors, and I can satisfy him."
"We started with the Yu family's money and private army, recruited surrenders and rebels along the way, and recruited the stragglers after the Tianshi Dao Rebellion. Finally, we retained the troops that Yu Yue could not control and used them as the main force to regain Yizhou.
, If we can defeat it, then Yizhou will be handed over to us. If we cannot defeat it, our entire army will be annihilated, and it will not take up the resources of the imperial court. You can even think of using the hands of Qiao and Shu to get rid of us unstable elements.
This is a good thing with no capital and huge profits.”
Liu Muzhi laughed and said: "You have no capital and a lot of profit? If you occupy Shuzhong, you will only be more dangerous than Qiao Shu. You will become the second Tianshi Dao. Sooner or later, you will threaten the Jin Dynasty. Why should I help you succeed?"
Woolen cloth?"
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Because I can conquer a whole world and do the same experiment as you. You are willing to use the land of Nanyan, Qingzhou and Qilu, to build a school for officials to replace the high-ranking families. I can also do it in Yizhou."
Create a traditional gentry world in such a remote place, and let those descendants of aristocratic families and ruined gentry who cannot gain a foothold here in the future come to Yizhou to regain the feeling of being headed by a gentry."
"You said that your superior system will be the main system in the future, but I don't think so. Since no one of us can convince anyone, let's each keep our own place. If you replace the existing system with officials here in the future,
If the children of aristocratic families cannot survive like Yu Yue, there will inevitably be a huge backlash. If those children of aristocratic families who have lost their power and wealth have no place to go, they will fight back desperately. Maybe there will be another one.
Isn’t this what you are worried about about the Polish civil war?”
Liu Muzhi's eyes narrowed slightly due to the fat on his face: "What you mean is that if you take Yizhou, I can kill those high-ranking families who are against the new law and those who continue to violate the law.
, the powerful nobles who disobeyed orders were sent to Yizhou and handed over to you to manage?"
Tao Yuanming nodded: "The powerful families in these places in Yizhou are naturally rebellious. They have always been submissive to foreign rulers when they are strong and rebellious when they are weak. The Mao family was destroyed in the hands of these local powerful families in Yizhou before.
, after I regain Yizhou, of course I can't rely on them. Just like you in Qingzhou, you have to get rid of the Han family and the Feng family for no reason. Therefore, when I am in Yizhou, I also have to get rid of those Shuzhong who have always been in trouble.
The big families must be uprooted and replaced by the children of our aristocratic families and noble families from Wu, so that we can be stable."
Liu Muzhi said coldly: "It sounds like you are still solving problems for the imperial court? But no matter how beautiful you say it, isn't it just for you and Luo Longsheng to occupy Yizhou for a long time and establish their own rule?"
Tao Yuanming laughed: "Then Yizhou is not independent now? Leave it to me. At least it will submit to the Jin Dynasty. At least it will help you accept many noble families and children of aristocratic families who are unwilling to cooperate with you. At least
I will also pay the due taxes to the court. If you really want the Northern Expedition, maybe I will cooperate with the court according to the situation at that time, and then capture places like Liangzhou and Qiuchi to expand the territory. This will be good for you.
It’s something that has a hundred benefits and no harm, so why not do it?”
Liu Muzhi said in a deep voice: "We can send troops to capture Yizhou in Shu by ourselves, so why should we let you fight? In order to temporarily truce back then, we temporarily let go of the demon thieves and let them occupy Guangzhou. As a result, there was trouble later
This huge rebellion almost wiped out the entire Jin Dynasty. Do you want us to make such a mistake again?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "It's not the same thing at all. The demon thieves have always rebelled against the imperial court, and we are loyal to the imperial court. We just have different political views from Liu Yu and you, who are now in power. If we have different political views, then we can each occupy our own place.
To prove whether your ideas are correct, you have the entire Jin Dynasty to prove it. I will use a small Yizhou as the last refuge for the nobles. If this is not allowed, then you might as well kill me now.
Then if you forcefully implement your method in the country, I want to see how long your world can last?!"
Liu Muzhi said nothing, his eyes were shining, and he was obviously thinking and weighing.
Tao Yuanming continued: "If you don't want to kill me, you can also send me back to Jiankang to continue interrogation and punishment. Tell Lu Zongzhi about Luo Longsheng's desire to become independent and let him deal with Luo Longsheng, and then he can manage Yu Yue's private army by himself.
, Oh, no, you should negotiate with him again, let him hand over this army and money and food in exchange for a governor of Zhongzhou or an official at the level of minister in the court, appease him Yu Yue, and then continue to control the world.
Cut it up like a big cake and reward the eight brothers in Beijing and the meritorious soldiers. From Liu Yi to Tan Daoji, these veteran generals and young marshals each have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard a state. The Jin Dynasty once again has numerous vassal towns.
, the warlords separated themselves, and then a few years later, the world was peaceful. The great Marshal Liu, together with Liu Changshi, who was reincarnated as Kong Ming, made another northern expedition, aiming directly at Chang'an, sweeping the two capitals, expelling the barbarians, and completing the unparalleled feat."
At this point, Tao Yuanming laughed: "But before the Northern Expedition, remember to secure the high-ranking families first, so that you can collect taxes."
Liu Muzhi stretched out his hand: "Stop talking, it's a deal!" (End of Chapter)
