Qinglong immediately followed and said: "I agree with Mr. Xuanwu. Whether it is the Xianbei tribe or the powerful Han people, these are actually forces that are united together and not subject to the constraints of the court. If they want to manage them, they can only use their own
If the leader comes to take care of it, over time, the country will not be a country. We, the Wu family, want to intervene, but there is no space and possibility. Any place, any group, if there are only other leaders, leaders, and village owners
, not knowing that there is a country, is the source of chaos.”
Baihu laughed: "It seems that we, the aristocratic families of Wudi, are not like this. We have controlled the manor in Wudi for many years and surrounded the land. Aren't we also making the bankers only know that we are aristocratic families and don't know that there are other people in Wudi?"
The country? Why, if we go to Qingzhou to occupy territory now, do we need the strong men of Qingzhou to be patriotic and love the court?"
Qinglong's face turned slightly red and he said: "That's another thing. At least, our family in Wu still supports the imperial court in major matters. Even if we are evil, we still contribute to the country most of the time, unlike those in Qingzhou.
Those powerful landlords only know self-interest and have no loyalty at all. They will submit to whoever is stronger, but they are unwilling to give up their own local interests. Shouldn't such local snakes that started in the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi State be rectified? If they are not rectified.
, then as long as our imperial court is weak and our troops are insufficient, we will soon lose Qingzhou again."
Bai Hu smiled and waved his hand: "Master Qinglong, please don't get me wrong. Although I made sarcastic remarks, my butt is still on the side of our aristocratic family. At least, for us now, our family and country are basically one, and
For the powerful Han landowners in Qingzhou, this may not be the case."
"So, I agree with your idea. If we, the descendants of the Wu family, can go to Qingzhou to take over the territory and power, I will support it. Just like I have always supported the founding of the country, the big families in Nandu used various means to suppress Wu.
It is the local powerful local people that have allowed us to have a century-old aristocratic family world."
"However, what I have doubts about is how to use means to achieve it. The Xianbei people's pastoral pastures are managed by the imperial court as military households, while the Han people's powerful family is due to the destruction of Nanyan at that time.
, they have provided food and jobs, and have done meritorious service, so naturally they will be rewarded."
Xuanwu said calmly: "Didn't you just say that there are two ways to conquer Nanyan, namely civil and military. When we pacified Nanyan, in order to gain support from the local wealthy families, we retained their manors and fields as a temporary expedient. However,
This is just a temporary expediency. Even if the land of our Wudi family is owned by the country, according to the national law, we must obtain the title based on meritorious service. Otherwise, why would our nephews go to the battlefield? Even we have to accept this national law, why Qingzhou's
Can powerful landlords keep their own land forever and control the people of Qingzhou forever?"
Bai Hu frowned: "But we didn't agree with them at that time how long they would be allowed to do this. It was the conditions that Queen Wang Miaoyin negotiated with the representatives of the major powers. I heard that it seemed to be five
Let’s keep the basic system unchanged for one to ten years.”
Qinglong nodded: "Most of them should be five years, and a few like the Han family, Feng family, Zhang family, and Yue family are from seven to ten years. My spies were also involved in these negotiations at the time, and they still have to pay attention to the details.
It is relatively clear, but when Pilu Daoxiu reported the Han family and the Feng family, he also revealed these conditions of differential treatment to other families, which aroused their jealousy, so in the end, the Han family and the Feng family were eliminated
At that time, almost all the large ethnic groups in Qingzhou rose up to attack without asking the court to send any troops. It was directly the civilians controlled by these families. In the name of the local troops of the prefecture and county, the Dingzhuangs sent Han Fan and Fengjiang to the army.
The family was wiped out."
Bai Hu laughed: "Wang Miaoyin is a good trick. He has planned all these things in advance. In fact, this is what Master Xuanwu said, differentiation and disintegration. However, this trick does not work every time, especially among the Han tycoons in Qingzhou now.
In the year after the War of Destroying Yan, the powerful clan also began to establish some offensive and defensive alliances through various methods of marriage and partnership, and Pilu Daoxiu has now become the head of a large local clan.
, if you want to negotiate some terms with the local wealthy families in Qingzhou, you cannot avoid this person."
Xuanwu frowned: "Didn't you make Yang Muzhi the general guarding Qingzhou? This Taiyang family is a big local family in Qingzhou. Yang Muzhi also has many distant relatives in the local area. Let him go with the army.
It was just to let the Yang family, not the Pilu family, control the local big families, why did it happen the other way around?"
Baihu said calmly: "Because the local Yang clan is not satisfied with developing only in Qingzhou, many Yang clan people took the opportunity to move to Jiangbei, and even intend to further enter Jiankang and serve as officials in the court in the future. After all, there is such a person as Yang Mu."
This line can introduce them to go south, but Pilu Daoxiu has no such idea at all. He just wants to continue to separate the regime in Qingzhou, so he is now the leader of the Qingzhou gentry. If we want to change Wang Miaoyin's original commitment to the Qingzhou gentry, then
You have to communicate and even negotiate through Pilu Daoxiu."
Qinglong said coldly: "Breaking promises and breaking promises is not a good thing, especially in this battle to quell the demon thieves. Although the Han clan in Qingzhou did not send out many troops, they also needed food, grass, ordnance.
We have provided a lot of supplies, not even much less than what the aristocratic families in Wudi have provided. They have not put forward any additional conditions, and we are looking for officials and titles. In this case, if we break our promise, we may lose the hearts of Qingzhou.
.”
Bai Hu looked at Xuanwu and said with a smile: "What Master Qinglong said makes sense. Then Master Xuanwu, isn't your approach of Wen Zhan or Wu Zhan unrealistic?"
Xuanwu waved his hand and said: "This Wen Zhan is actually an order from the imperial court to allocate land and reward meritorious soldiers. Of course, these meritorious soldiers also include the children of our Wu family. These lands are in Qingzhou and Jiangbei.
They are all in Wudi. This does not mean that the manor and land in Qingzhou are monolithic and can never be divided. We have given these Qingzhou Han people a strong promise, saying that we will give them the right to continue operating the manor within five to ten years. However, this
It can also be negotiated. Just like the Yang family, don't they want to become officials in the court and move south? Then give them this opportunity to use Jiangbei and Yuzhou land in exchange for their manor in Qingzhou. Isn't that right?
