The night was dark, and in the Wu County Government Affairs Hall, several oil lamps were brightly lit, and Sun Quan's figure in the middle was reflected on the surrounding walls, large or small, bright or dark.
Sun Quan sat by the case and looked at the paperwork. Even if he reached his current position, he still had to do a lot of desk work, and it was not enough to just leave the matter to the officials.
Although the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty has almost collapsed, the general structure has still been preserved, which has become a copy of Sun Quan's establishment of a new system. These documents are Sun Quan's control, coordination and management of his own Jiangdong system.
Zhou Yu is here.
Then Zhou Yu left again.
It was not Zhou Yu's original intention to be in a hurry, but after all, only in this way can Sun Quan be reassured. Zhou Yu had previously said that if there was no big event, he would supervise the training of soldiers in Baqiu. If Zhou Yu hadn't really couldn't stand it this time, he might not have done it.
Come for a trip like this.
Sun Quan loved, hated, and was jealous of Zhou Yu, which was very complicated.
It can be said that in the current Jiangdong, Zhou Yu's status is not lower than that of Sun Quan. The reason is also very simple. First of all, Zhou Yu was the one who followed Sun Ce in raising troops. At that time, Jiangdong was still a mess with nothing. It can be said that the Sun family owns Jiangdong.
The foundation of Soochow was basically built by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, so there is no doubt that Zhou Yu is the founder of Soochow's foundation.
Therefore, to Soochow, Zhou Yu is no different from the founding minister. At the same time, when Sun Ce fell, it was Zhou Yu who appeased and coordinated the veterans and asked them to support Sun Quan. It can be said that Zhou Yu has both Jiangdong and Sun Quan.
Well, without Zhou Yu, Jiangdong would have become scattered and there would be no possibility of unity.
Therefore, Sun Quan also made Zhou Yu the governor-general. The two seemed to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact Sun Quan did not give all his military power to Zhou Yu...
Nothing else, just a balance.
Many of Sun Ce's original members who opened up Jiangdong were from the Huaisi area and were basically considered the Huaisi faction. In Jiangdong, those led by the four Jiangdong families can generally be called the local faction.
Sun Quan wanted to find a balance between these two factions, but obviously, this balance was not so easy to find...
Although the entire Government Affairs Hall is now quiet and peaceful, the quarrels that broke out here before are still clashing and noisy in Sun Quan's mind...
……(╬￣俣)……
"Lord, if you want others to be ignorant, you have to do nothing about it!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan angrily. Looking at this guy who acted in a completely different way from Sun Ce, his uncontrollable anger made Zhou Yu not even want to maintain his appearance.
of respect.
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then his anger rose: "Zhou Gongjin, you are so brave!" Some time ago, Sun Quan would not have dared to mess with Zhou Yu like this, but now Sun Quan feels that he has a certain strength, and then hears Zhou Yu's rude words.
, naturally very angry.
Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, his gaze was like a knife, which made Sun Quan sweat a little on his back.
"My lord thought it was a good idea to harvest Yue people and farm their fields, firstly, to stabilize the foundation, and secondly, to unite the four tribes, but little did he know that he was actually laying the root of trouble, and sooner or later, the foundation would be overthrown!" If it comes to other things, Zhou Yu can tolerate it,
So once it comes to the issue of the Sun family's foundation, Zhou Yu will never stand idly by. Because for Zhou Yu, the Sun family's foundation is the only mark that Sun Ce leaves in this world.
The four families in Jiangdong have formed a complete structure. The main family stands out as the leader, leading the direction and facing the future, while the other branches and minor surnames serve as supplements to assist the main family and move forward together.
So from this perspective, the four Jiangdong families are actually a whole, and marriage is like a link. Although the four families have some friction to some extent, they still have the same goal on the whole.
Sun Quan captured the Yue people and brought them to the military camp as slaves. Then the four families did not say anything and accepted the Yue people sent by Sun Quan with smiles. But this does not mean that the four families were sitting on the same chariot as Sun Quan!
"Why did you say that?" Sun Quan was a little stunned. After pondering for a while, he asked directly.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is tantamount to killing the chicken to take the eggs, drinking poison to quench thirst, and there will eventually be chaos... There is a lot of resentment among the people, and the benefits are only half, so why bother?"
Sun Quan divided the Runyue people, and seemed to have reached a consensus with the four Jiangdong surnames to advance and retreat together. But in fact, Sun Quan bore all the public anger, and the four Jiangdong surnames said that this was all Sun Quan had to do, while accepting the Yue people with a smile. And then even though
Sun Quan's interests from the Yue people accounted for most of them, but Sun Quan required a lot of corresponding expenditures, so overall, the benefits that Sun Quan received may not actually be more than those of the four surnames in Jiangdong.
On the other hand, after all, the Yue people are not leeks in spring, but human beings. They need a period of time to reproduce. It seems good to arrest these Yue people in a short period of time, but then what? Since the Yue people were captured
If a person is a slave, then he is equivalent to a tool. Who will cherish a cheap tool like disposable dishes and chopsticks? Therefore, it will inevitably be consumed at an extremely fast speed, even if Sun Quan gave these
A little bit of water from the slaves can keep them alive, but the dissatisfaction and resistance of the slaves will cause the slaves to quickly break down and be exhausted quickly.
At that time, Sun Quan must face a dilemma. One is that the cost of capturing the Yue people is getting higher and higher. After all, no one wants to be born as a slave to others. The Yue people's escape and resistance have become inevitable.
Secondly, in order to maintain the previously cultivated fields, either Sun Quan would be forced to turn his original subordinates into slaves, because only slaves could generate high profits, or he would have to give up taking care of these fields with insufficient manpower or give up farming with slaves.
Model, no matter which one it is, will have a great shock to Sun Quan's regime...
As for the four Jiangdong families, they are fanning the flames and reaping the benefits.
Sun Quan rushed forward to fight and tear apart the prey. The four Jiangdong families cheered for both sides from behind, saying that they were fair and just. Then Sun Quan won, so they went up to lick Sun Quan's wounds, making Sun Quan feel happy and lick some blood at the same time.
After eating it, he immediately nibbled some prey into the water on the other side. After all, most of the fat meat was still left to Sun Quan. He completely forgot that he had added oil to the prey before...
Until one day, Sun Quan fell down with bruises, and the four Jiangdong families rushed up to him. While biting Sun Quan's body, he reiterated that he was on the side of justice, shouting that justice may be late, but it will never be.
What kind of slogans will be missing, dry up Sun Quan's body, throw Sun Quan's body to the prey that is also scarred, or train him to become the next Sun Quan...
"Why bother? Why is this necessary?" Zhou Yu gave Sun Quan a little analysis, and then looked at Sun Quan, "My lord is only twenty years old. You only need to stick to it. In less than ten years, Jiangdong will be like a rock. Why make such a rash advance?"
Act of?"
"Brother Gongjin..." After hearing this, Sun Quan was silent for a long time and sighed, "If there is no achievement in a certain ten years... not to mention ten years, even three years, it will fall apart! In this world, it is like sailing against the current.
, If you don’t advance, you will retreat! Fei Huqi is entrenched in Guanzhong Sichuan, Cao Sikong sees Jiyou being invaded, and east of the river, there are Jingxiang and Liu Jingsheng blocking the road on the left, and Yue people on the right are holding back...Brother Gongjin, if someone can’t take this urgent strategy
, so what?"
What Sun Quan said can be regarded as sincere.
Sun Quan is like the president of Sun Family Foundation, but in addition to the president, there are also various investors, such as Mrs. Wu's brothers, and even veterans like Zhou Yu. If it is Sun Ce, he will more or less develop it together.
Jiangdong's affectionate connection, and Sun Quan, a latecomer, if he can't make any strategic profits, naturally don't think about how long he can sit in this position...
Even if Sun Quan has no brothers, he still has nephews, or even worse, he still has relatives of the Wu family!
Therefore, Sun Quan's sense of crisis is actually very strong.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and finally understood the biggest difference between him and Sun Quan. Zhou Yu valued the Sun family's foundation, while Sun Quan valued his own position. Although the two people had the same interests and goals in some places
, but after all, they are like two different lines that intersect at one place for a short time and then go in different directions.
Zhou Yu stood up and said, "That's it for now... I hope my lord will think twice... I'll excuse you..." Originally Zhou Yu had prepared some policies and strategies, but now, Zhou Yu felt that even if he said it, Sun Quan might not be willing to listen.
Even if I heard it, I would rarely do it, and I would be too lazy to waste any more words.
"..." Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu bow in silence, then stepped back step by step, but stopped talking.
Zhou Yu retreated to a position close to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back.
Sun Quan couldn't help but smile: "Brother Gongjin..."
"My lord," Zhou Yu held his hand, "the matter of the Huang family's crossbows... my lord still needs to deal with a few more things..."
Sun Quan:(￣口￣)
"My subordinates are resigning..." Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and left again.
……(≧Д≦)ノ……
When he recalled the previous scene again, Sun Quan realized that Zhou Yu's last sentence was not really about Zhou Yu finding any relevant evidence, but the evidence was obtained from Sun Quan's reaction.
Falling into Zhou Yu's scheme again, Sun Quan felt a little helpless, but also a little ashamed and angry.
After all, Sun Quan himself knew that there was still some intellectual gap between him and Zhou Yu.
However, this does not change Sun Quan's original strategy.
Sun Quan put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.
Jiangdong started with Sun Ce and now Sun Quan has taken over, and it has gradually reached a bottleneck.
To the east, there is a vast ocean. Although Sun Quan also heard that the four Jiangdong families have some shipbuilding technology, it belongs to the four Jiangdong families after all, and the sea is unpredictable, so can it be guaranteed that there will be profits?
To the south, let alone Shanyue, those dense forests that have grown for thousands of years are enough to give Sun Quan a headache. Before the Han Dynasty entered the Little Ice Age, this area of South Vietnam was similar to a tropical rainforest...
Even if the fields are set on fire, they have to be close to a water source before they can be converted into farmland. Therefore, the cost of developing southward is very high, and there is no guarantee of profit.
The only two options are to go north or west.
To the north is Cao Cao, to the west is Liu Biao. For Jiangdong, the desire to go west, or the strategic need, is obviously greater than going north. After all, the river flows eastward, and the original natural dangers can be ignored in front of Jingzhou.
, Jingzhou, which is located upstream, can attack downstream, but Jiangdong can only go upstream...
If the west and north can be disrupted, Sun Quan will naturally have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
Under such a grand strategic thinking, Sun Quan certainly hopes that all these guys in the Central Plains will work together, and then he can calmly reap the profits. Just like the empire on which the sun never sets in history, the mainland is a troublemaker.
His reputation was not in vain. Sun Quan didn't know what a mainland troublemaker was, but that didn't stop Sun Quan from trying to create conflicts between Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, hoping to achieve his desired goal.
However, how come there is no movement among Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao in the Central Plains? Could it be said that they have been discovered? It is not the case. The people sent out are all dead soldiers raised by the Sun family for many years. They must not leak even a little bit...
…
Maybe, wait a little longer?
Sun Quan turned his head and took down the long sword hanging on the sword stand behind him. He pulled it out under the oil lamp with gentle force, and the cold light filled the air.
This was originally his brother Sun Ce's sword, but Sun Ce later gave it to him.
The long sword is three feet three and more than three fingers wide. It has blades on both sides and a blood groove in the middle. The steel pattern on the sword body shines more and more under the oil lamp. The sword body is engraved with a canthus, upper and lower canine teeth, round
Eyes glaring. The hilt of the sword is made of thin hemp rope mixed with leather, which ensures a comfortable grip without being too slippery due to blood stains.
Sun Quan first held the long sword against the oil lamp, and then looked at the tip of the sword from the bottom little by little to check if there was any rust. Then he took a piece of brocade silk and wiped it upwards along the sword body little by little...
…
Now that I have climbed to this position, I have become more and more aware of how valuable authority is. How can I give up so easily?
Shame and all that is just a cloud.
Depending on your individual stance, your feelings will naturally be different.
For Zhou Yu, what he wants to protect is only Sun Ce's inheritance. As for Sun Quan personally, he is just the guardian of the foundation under this premise. As for Sun Quan, although he also thinks about the Sun family's inheritance, he
It is the Sun family's inheritance under the control of Sun Quan himself.
Therefore, Sun Quan felt that what he did was not the most correct method at the moment?
Why can't anyone understand him?
"Fuck Wu Ge, he is trapped in a rhinoceros armor, his chariot is on the wrong side, and he is fighting at close range. The sun is blocked by clouds, and the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling, and the soldiers are fighting for the lead..." Sun Quan muttered softly, "The weather is coming, the thunder is angry, kill all the enemies.
Fight in the wild. When you leave Wu Commandery, you will not fight back. If you take advantage of the Yangtze River, you will enter the Central Plains. If you carry a long sword and hold a Wu hook, you will drive away the deer and settle down for nine days..."
