Fei Qian tapped the table gently with his fingers, listening to Huang Quan's report on the previous unification of large Sichuan and Sichuan households and the arrangements for related matters.
Using farmers to attack Sichuan and Shu, rather than using soldiers to attack, can be said to be an unprecedented and huge change.
This kind of change was something that Fei Qian didn't think of. Before it was made, no one seemed to have thought of it. But after it was made, everyone suddenly understood. After all, ancient China was still a farming society.
Some trolls in later generations said that at first, agriculture was based on dogtail grass, so how could it feed a large group of people? Then they expressed doubts, saying that agriculture was actually an accidental development, because the original Zhuang He was indeed closely related to
It's almost the same as foxtail grass.
Perhaps the domestication of crops in agriculture is indeed an accident, but from another perspective, it is inevitable for human survival.
Just like Sichuan.
Human history developed to about 10,000 years ago. At the end of the last ice age, the Mesolithic Age in archeology, the earth's ecological environment on which humans depended for survival underwent tremendous changes, the rise of global temperatures, the replacement of animals and vegetation, and
Changes in sea level, etc., have led to the emergence of a series of new things, the most important of which is the emergence of farming...
Of course, farming has not been smooth sailing, and there have even been faults. However, with the end of the post-glacial period, the permafrost thawed, and lakes and swamps increased, which led to the extinction of large prey that were originally adapted to the cold, such as woolly mammoths.
With the increase in the number of small mammals, it is impossible for primitive humans to preserve food as they did during the Ice Age. The double pressure of hunting quality and quantity caused primitive humans to begin to turn their attention to more and wider food types, such as fish and shellfish, etc.
Food also began to penetrate from the second echelon to the first echelon, forming a more complex food chain system. In such a food chain system, humans consciously store and select some high-yielding and excellent varieties to supplement the large prey.
The lack of food caused food shortages, and farming took shape.
In addition, in the process of the origin of agriculture, the origin of livestock breeding can be said to be its twin sister. In a sense, they promote each other and serve as motivation for each other, and later together they became the main economic basis for the development of human society.
Therefore, in ancient times, the mainly agricultural China and the nomadic Hu people always fell in love and killed each other. This is because the two grasshoppers originally developed on the same line, and the genes that did not like each other were probably in the primitive people.
In the midst of arguments and beatings, I'm afraid the seeds have already been planted.
Fei Qian had thought about it for a long time before, and he really put a lot of thought into how to obtain the land of Sichuan and Shu. According to Pang Tong's idea, they could just use soldiers to push in, all the way from Hanzhong to the south.
As of Jianning, we can basically control the entire Sichuan and Shu.
Fei Qian, on the other hand, needs to think further.
What is the ultimate goal of occupying Sichuan and Shu, or in other words, controlling Sichuan and Shu?
Obtain food and supplies from Sichuan and Shu.
From a certain perspective, at least in the Han Dynasty, the military resources of Sichuan and Shu were not very good. Maybe the mountain camp could be used, but should it be used in other aspects...
Or are the men from Liangzhou and Bingzhou more suitable for fighting with cold weapons?
This is not to look down on the personnel in Sichuan and Shu, but history has proved that those who have Sichuan and Shu as their rear are relatively good, but those who only have Sichuan and Shu often cannot last long. That kid Liu Bang only entered the army back then.
Hanzhong just turned around in one circle, and it was turned out again in a year or two. Moreover, the people who served as Liu Bang's vanguard at that time were not soldiers from Sichuan and Shu, but a large number of Guanzhong troops left behind by the former Qin Dynasty at that time.
In addition, it is also very important to point out that the development of the commodity economy is to a certain extent a benchmark for times of war and peace. In more turbulent areas, households will inevitably gather together to protect themselves, and the natural economy and even small-scale collective survival economies will occupy a dominant position.
, just like the Black Mountain bandits. If the population in the mountains hadn't grown and they couldn't afford it, some of these Black Mountain bandits wouldn't want to come out of the mountains to plunder.
After the Heluo Rebellion in Guanzhong, the commodity economy in the entire Central Plains region suffered a devastating blow. From Dong Zhuo to Li Guo, the economic system of Guanzhong suffered a heavy blow. If Fei Qian had not injected his own economic system into Guanzhong, I am afraid it would be like
Historically, until the reign of Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, China was still "poor with money and goods" and was even forced to "stop money and make the people use grain and silk as their market."
At the same time, in history, Yizhou can see obvious traces of the use of money, which shows that in the Bashu region, the commodity economy of money transactions has not been greatly affected.
Now that Guanzhong is merging to the north, there is an urgent need for product sales channels and a large amount of metal currency. These economic systems in Sichuan and Shu that have not been disrupted have naturally become a piece of fat in Fei Qian's eyes.
Fei Qian, who was influenced by a lot of information from later generations, certainly did not think that war could only be fought with swords, guns and bullets. Economic wars were also bloody and brutal.
After all, even middle school politics textbooks have a lot of them written in black and white. It’s the 21st century, but they only know how to kill if they don’t obey? Could it be that all the books I have read for so many years have been read into the belly of a dog?
Therefore, using farming technology to lure people in Sichuan and Shu, and then using the economic system to invade Sichuan and Shu, thus forming a fait accompli, intensifying the conflict between Liu Zhang and the local people in Sichuan and Shu, and finally gaining control of Sichuan and Shu as a whole, became
The operational focus of Feiqian's entire current strategy.
Therefore, the strategic change brought about by Fei Qian suddenly plunged the entire Sichuan and Shu into chaos. The people of Sichuan and Shu who had not welcomed Fei Qian suddenly felt that they were doing things under the Zhengxi.
Being ruled by its management is not a bad choice...
So does Fei Qian have the foundation to achieve such a strategic goal?
Yes, and it's very abundant.
In addition to the common greedy instinct of ordinary people, the humanistic characteristics and social deconstruction formed over the years in Sichuan and Sichuan have become the basis for Fei Qian to realize this strategic plan.
Those who compete for the world cannot only look at the quantity of output on the panel, but also look at the specific situation. Only by truly making good use of every piece of national power, applying it to the place where it should be used, and better integrating the resources it belongs to
Only with the various political and economic resources in its base can such a regime have the capital to dominate the world.
Sichuan and Shu are a place with strong economic strength, but few people can make good use of it and bring out the greatest potential of Sichuan and Shu.
As a native of Sichuan and Shu, Huang Quan is located in an area like Brazil that borders Hanzhong. In addition, he is also relatively smart. This time he followed Fei Qian from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Shu, so he naturally planned to do something on his own.
A career is not like living in a foreign country in Hanzhong.
Therefore, in the lobby of the Langzhong government office, after Huang Quan finished his previous work report, he took the initiative to point to the map of Sichuan and Shu and said to Fei Qian: "The customs of Sichuan and Shu are completely different from those of Hanzhong and Guanzhong. The differences between Sichuan and Shu
Generations are smart, quick-tempered, and most ugly in appearance. Most are under seven feet tall. They admire the study of classics, and there are some who are outstanding. However, most of the children are addicted to pleasures, and few are official officials. Some may become old and gray, and never leave their hometowns.
…”
Fei Qian nodded slowly and glanced at Huang Quan. This guy suddenly talked about the weaknesses of people from Sichuan and Shu. Does it mean that he is an exception, or that he knows Sichuan and Shu very well, or is it both, or is he an exception?
What else is there between the two?
However, the situation in Sichuan and Shu mentioned by Huang Quan is indeed the case.
This is the typical rural thinking of the people of Sichuan and Shu. Because the land of Shu is closed and rich, and the people are addicted to leisure, their character is relatively weak, they like to enjoy themselves, and they are not brave in martial arts.
The style is naturally different. At the same time, it is no wonder that the surnames in Sichuan and Shu are so powerful, and the local political power in Sichuan and Shu is often controlled by the surnames. This is somewhat similar to Guanzhong, but it is more serious than Guanzhong.
"The people of Sichuan and Sichuan are so skillful craftsmen..." Huang Quan glanced at Fei Qian, then lowered his head and continued, "... he is good at guessing things, his silk brocade carvings are exquisite, and he plays with the wonders of food and drink. All young and old admire him.
Most of them are proud of it... In the family, the women work hard, while the scholars are free, partying and feasting, especially those who care about money..."
As Fei Qian listened, he suddenly felt some emotion in his heart. The Sichuan and Shu forms are of the same origin. Let alone the Han Dynasty, it seems to be the same even in later generations. There is not much change. The crackling sound of mahjong lasts for thousands of years.
ah!
In later generations, when Sichuan and Shu are mentioned, Sichuan cuisine must be thought of, and when Sichuan cuisine is mentioned, boiled fish, pickled cabbage, fish, and boiled fish must be indispensable...
Fei Qian has been to Chengdu before. Do you want to ask for directions? If you ask about government offices and street administration places, seven or eight out of ten ordinary people don’t know very well. But if you ask where there are fun and delicious places in the surrounding area,
, haha, both parties were immediately happy...
And what’s very interesting is that when Fei went to Sichuan and Sichuan, he heard about male and female friends and marriage. There may be other words and other meanings in other places, but in Sichuan and Sichuan, no matter old or young, the man is the woman and the man is the woman.
, they all call this behavior "playing friends", which is really scary when you think about it...
At the same time, because of the characteristics of Sichuan and Shu, those who dominate Shu are often relatively powerful refugee groups who come to avoid chaos. The host-object contradiction has always existed in the Shu regime to a greater or lesser extent, but under the rule of Liu Yan and his son,
However, it was extremely sharp in the Shu regime and even threatened the survival of the regime.
When Liu Yan entered Sichuan, he brought tens of thousands of people from the Sanfu area of Nanyang to Sichuan and Shu to avoid disaster. He thought that his cronies were the so-called Dongzhou scholars in Sichuan and Shu, and they were also Liu Zhang's last barrier...
If you want to dismantle the barrier, it is often more effective to start from the inside, right?
Huang Quan continued: "Now there are nearly 30,000 Dongzhou soldiers near Chengdu... Because Liu Yizhou is lenient and ruthless, the Dongzhou soldiers disturb the place and Yizhou breaks the grudges... The lord adopts this strategy, not attacking the city but attacking the heart, which is just right.
The wisdom of military strategists is the best strategy... If this time of Zhuang and He is flourishing, it will be the day when Sichuan and Shu will be settled... Although I am not talented, I want to share my worries for the Lord, and I am willing to use my meager strength to choose one in Langzhong.
Try it out in the field, help the lord accomplish this, and take Sichuan and Shu as soon as possible..."
Oh, I see.
Huang Quan came here specially this time, not only to report, but also to invite Ying.
However, it is not impossible to give this authority to Huang Quan...
Generally speaking, the people of Sichuan and Shu probably had some expectations for Liu Yan when he was ordered by the emperor to become the shepherd of Yizhou. You must know that when Liu Yan entered Shu, his surname was Jia Long in Yizhou.
He went to greet him in person. However, after Liu Yan succeeded in taking over the state, he went back on his promise and soon executed more than ten people from the Yizhou family in vain. This move directly caused the Yizhou family to alienate Liu Yan's rule. And Liu Yan did it.
After this incident, instead of trying to ease the conflict and change course, because they offended the Yizhou surname, they relied more on the Dongzhou people as an external force and used them as their pawns to fight against the Yizhou wealthy people, which led to the final irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.
Huang Quan happened to have witnessed such a change, so although his words were inevitably mixed with some selfishness, he also recognized Fei Qian's strategy from the bottom of his heart, so he came to ask Ying to host such a meeting.
After all, if a thing is successful, such a feat is no less than conquering a city in front of the battle.
Unlike Cao Cao's model of controlling all military power in the hands of his relatives and brothers, Fei Qian did not have many relatives who could share the important tasks, so most of the military power was dispersed, part of the Jingxiang faction, part of the Xiliang faction, and part of Bingzhou
The faction seems to be very loose, but in fact it is Huang's Workshop that serves as the internal link.
Not to mention anything else, the words "General Fei Huang Shijian" on the armor blade are the first words that these big-headed soldiers learned about cultural literacy. Together with the nameplates on each soldier,
It also unified these scattered soldiers into a whole, so although the generals commanding the soldiers under Zhengxi are now scattered, the soldiers under them all know that above these directly subordinate generals, there is also a Zhengxi General...
Naturally, Huang Quan did not dare to ask General Zhengxi for the authority to command troops in terms of military power. However, when he presided over the demonstration of farming technology this time, he keenly discovered that this was for him to show off himself and gain meritorious service.
An excellent opportunity, and by the way, if it succeeds, it will not only prove the operability of these advanced farming technologies of General Zhengxi, but also master these technologies at home...
For Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, Huang Quan's suggestion to create such a test field was naturally necessary.
Experimental field...
Fei Qian nodded slightly.
From a certain perspective, isn't Huang Quan a testing field?
Of course, these Sichuan and Shu people cannot be solved in just one or two sentences. The specifics still depend on the efficacy, well, the effectiveness of the yield per mu. Therefore, Huang Quan’s suggestion and the experimental field opened in Langzhong will naturally
It has become the focus of attention in the next stage of Sichuan and Shu.
Fei Qian pondered for a moment, then looked at Huang Quan and said: "A new trial field is like building a river to build an embankment. It is not easy to build, but it will be destroyed in a moment. I wonder if the public can care about it?"
Huang Quan cupped his hands and said loudly: "Lord Mingjian, outside Langzhong City, there is a mountain to the north of the Xishan School Ground, named Ping. As the name suggests, the mountain is like a screen or a barrier, so it is an excellent place. On the hillside, with the sun facing the sun and the back shading, it can be
The camp is next to Langshui River, which can be used for farming. Ditches are dug and built to promote water conservancy. Fences are built outside and troops are stationed to patrol in case of drought. I am not talented enough, so I am willing to lead the army. If this cannot be done, it will delay the lord's great cause.
Then come and see me!"
Fei Qian smiled slightly and nodded in approval, but Fei Qian never expected that when he was preparing this field in Langzhong, the other field was undergoing earth-shaking changes...
