Chapter 2787 Wuling's southern barbarians look forward to peach blossoms, Zhu Huan decided to make a move
Although Zhuge Liang proposed that he could take advantage of the opportunity of Wuxi Man's surrender to Jiangdong, the fundamental reason for the fluctuation was not that Wuxi Man had some intentions, but because Jiangdong raised taxes on the Manyue area.
And is the reason for this tax increase...
In fact, it is more or less related to Fei Qian.
Everyone knows the principle of scattering the roots of leeks to kill chickens to get eggs, but they forget it when they eat it.
Jiangdong has been doing the taxation of Wulingman.
Is it good to increase taxes?
In fact, everyone knows that it is not good to increase tax at will, but the problem is that it is very good to spend money. It is always fun to spend money. If you can spend countless money, it will be endless.
Unfortunately, making money is difficult and hard.
So when a group of people only have the ability to enjoy themselves, how to spend money, don’t know how to be frugal, avoid hard work, and don’t want to face difficulties to climb to a high position, what’s left is the most direct way...
In order to stabilize social security and obtain military resources, the Jiangdong regime forced a large number of Shanyue to move from mountainous areas to flatlands and exile their men to fight, which made Yue people's living habits, language and clothing, etc. also forced to change in this process. Jiangdong also gave a special name to indicate that it was completely different from the education of the Cavalry, and it was called "Conghua".
Did you see that there is a "teaching" in Guanzhong, and Jiangdong is going to go to the next level, and it is better to "follow" directly? This is a completely different concept, this is a brand new development, and this is definitely not a plagiarism of Smida.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the different attitudes of the three regions, or the three countries in history, towards the surrounding ethnic minority tribes. Overall, among the Three Kingdoms, various regimes still maintained a certain degree of suppression on the surrounding ethnic minorities. After the world returned to Jin, the Sima family made a mess...
The Cao Wei regime in history was exposed to major border troubles of the Han Dynasty, such as the Huns, Wuhuans, Xianbeis, as well as the clans, Qiangs, Jies, Dingling, etc. They were basically nomadic peoples with certain strength. For these ethnic groups, the Cao Wei adopted the policy of suppressing the strong and supporting the weak, dividing and disintegrating, pulling and fighting together, and responding flexibly.
There are big sticks and carrots, and attack and political means are used in both ways. For example, in the topic of resettlement of the Southern Xiongnu, Cao Wei did not attack them blindly, but used political means to divide them into five divisions and then control them separately. In specific management, on the one hand, the nobles of each division were selected as the commander, and on the other hand, they sent people to serve as Sima of each division. In name, the commander was the supreme commander, and in fact, the power was controlled by Sima, which avoided intensifying conflicts and realized control of the Huns.
For the more powerful Xianbei, Cao Wei avoided head-on conflicts and specially set up Xianbei lieutenants to manage Xianbei affairs. When the Xianbei was divided into three parts, Cao Wei used means to provoke internal conflicts, causing the Xianbei to become enemies and attack each other.
The one who waved the big stick the most fiercely was of course the attack on the Wuhuan, the predecessor of Bangzi, such ethnic groups as Goguryeo, and especially the ethnic minorities such as Shu and anti-Wei, Qiang, and Hu. Cao Wei had a very strong attack on them and often used methods such as massacre and migration.
The ethnic strategy of Shu Kingdom in the southwest was thanks to Mr. Luo's development and development, which was known to more people in later generations. However, according to historical circumstances, the problems faced by Shu Kingdom were more complicated than those facing Cao Wei and Eastern Wu. In response to this complex situation, Zhuge Liang proposed the "West and Zhurong, and the south to pacify Yiyue" in "Longzhong Pair", and became the basic strategy for dealing with ethnic minorities after the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty.
In addition to Meng Huo in the Romance, Ma Chao in history became the Five Tiger General under this policy, and even the effect that Jiang Wei showed in it...
These effects did indeed promote Shu Kingdom to a certain extent. At least when Zhuge Liang's first northern expedition, the three counties of Nan'an, Tianshui and Anding in the northwest region made positive responses. Among them, the biased attitudes of ethnic minorities such as Di and Qiang towards Shu Han also played a key role in this process.
Compared with Cao Wei and Shu Han, it is more bizarre when dealing with these ethnic issues.
Or the most incredible.
Compared with Cao Wei, these border ethnic groups in the Eastern Wu are undoubtedly weaker. Compared with Shu Han, the Eastern Wu will appear to be a little more single in species, because the ethnic minorities in the Eastern Wu are mainly barbarians and descendants of Baiyue, and are not as complex as those around Shu Han. There are Hu in the north and barbarians in the south. Therefore, the Eastern Wu should be relatively comfortable overall, but the Eastern Wu has almost never stopped.
Of course, if you insist that Baiyue is one hundred "白", then you can...
Almost all the famous generals of the Eastern Wu participated in the war to fight against Baiyue.
Then the more you hit, the more problems you have.
Rebellion occurs every year, with a size of three or six nine.
The Eastern Wu was not without pacification, but the targets of pacification were often the more remote Jiaozhi area. For Baiyue, which was closer to Yangzhou, the attitude of the Eastern Wu was not very friendly.
This led to the entire Jiangdong falling into a vicious circle. On the one hand, Jiangdong needed Yue people to replenish the source of troops, and on the other hand, the entire strategy was extremely unfriendly to these Yue people. Think about it, the general of the Eastern Wu burned Yue people's villages, killed Yue people's relatives and friends, and then stole Yue people's wife and daughter. Now Yue people have to fight for the Eastern Wu...
Who knows that these Yue people got the knife and waited for the opportunity, would they stab the enemy army on the opposite side first, or directly stab the chrysanthemum of their own generals?
Therefore, in the war mode of the Eastern Wu, the generals of these animals must maintain a large number of private soldiers, and the Yue people are cannon fodder. Under such a military structure, no matter how many people there are, as long as the situation similar to Zhang Babai occurs, Sun Shiwan's defeat will inevitably be inevitable.
This hidden danger has always existed in Jiangdong and has always been hidden in the hearts of officials of all sizes and big and small, making their behavior inevitably lead to various contradictions and different choices.
The ugly appearance of Sun Quan in the power struggle this time was not just a simple military factor, nor could it be said that Sun Quan alone was responsible. It was because there were too many strange things in Jiangdong, and the people of Jiangdong were used to it, or even though they thought it was inappropriate, they thought it was too difficult to change, so they simply did not change it.
This led to the officials of Jiangdong who had different attitudes towards Sun Quan. Some people believed that Sun Quan would come back sooner or later, but some people had some concerns about Sun Quan, and some people didn't care that Sun Quan was not Sun Quan, as long as he could still make money...
Among those who opposed Sun Quan, their opinions were basically concentrated on Sun Quan's "fake emptiness". You should know that even if the heroes were not judged by success or failure, when Sun Quan was in power, he did the confusing things to conquer Jiangbei, and thousands of people died. However, they did not gain any direct benefits for Jiangdong, and they could not even occupy them for a long time. They just plundered those territory. This was not killing chickens to get eggs, but trying to make the talk for a while, what was it?
Without a long-term vision and a lofty strategy, it seems like a joke that you have to fight. How could such a Jiangdong monarch allow the generals and counselors in Jiangdong to entrust their bodies and minds? What do these middle-level Jiangdong personnel think in the hearts of? What will this situation lead to?
Perhaps Sun Quan did not think about these issues, or perhaps Sun Quan thought about them, but he didn't care. But what is interesting is that the issues that Sun Quan cares about are actually not the most important. On the contrary, the issues he ignored are related to the direction of the overall grand strategy.
Sun Quan always had a lofty dream, and then attacked the north and the south, went hand in hand, etc., but in fact, when operating, the speed was 25, and the damage was 2.5 at a glance...
But the problem is that the people who opposed Sun Quan in Jiangdong only had opinions but no suggestions, and they could not even find a unified leader in their own opinions. This scattered state made Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao easily maintain the stability of Jiangdong in the last storm, forcing the Jiangdong gentry to give up their investigation of Sun Quan and obtain other compensation.
But this cannot really solve the potential contradictions in Jiangdong, but it only temporarily unifies the voice.
And this temporary unity has become shaky as time goes by...
There are also many people from Jiangdong who are really worried about this situation and considering future development, and Zhu Huan may be one of them.
Wuling Man is unstable, and the biggest reason is not Wuling Man, but Jiangdong itself.
But the problem is that these gentry rulers in Jiangdong themselves do not think so...
They even sent Qin Bo, who was originally under Sun Quan, to come to the Wuling area again to "inspection" to deal with and solve this problem, or...
"Taking the blame."
Just like Cao Cao had Lu Hong and Zhao Da, there were also people like Lu Yi and Qin Bo here. These people shrank their heads and held their tails for a while when Sun Quan handed over power, but now Qin Bo has received a new appointment.
Of course, this appointment is not baseless. After all, Qin Bo had visited this area before to investigate the rebellion of Wulingman and others.
It’s just that the last time the Man Yue rebellion was fake.
This time, it's true.
Zhu Huan was very disdainful of Qin Bo and others. But Zhu Huan also knew that this was also Sun Quan's difficulty. Zhu Huan could understand it, but did not support it.
Sun Quan wanted to gain support from Jiangdong, but could not let go of his own dignity. He also wanted to use the different voices of the gentry to make adjustments and changes in human affairs. Apart from adopting these poor children such as Lu Yi and Qinbo, there was no better way. Perhaps when Sun Quan truly won military victory and regained his dignity, he would also gain the compliance of the genius in Jiangdong and would have the opportunity to do what Sun Quan wanted to do...
But all wishes are beautiful, but they are actually very cruel. Zhu Huan thinks that Sun Quan’s biggest problem is still hasty actions rather than purposeful planning. The difference between the two is like a difference.
Zhu Huan supported caution and opposed rashness, so he still did not welcome Qin Bo's re-investigation of Wulingman rebellion this time, but he could not refuse.
Qin Bo is here, smiling, and his attitude is very low, and he praises Zhu Huan very much. "I heard that the general is an open-minded and cheerful person. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation..."
Zhu Huan sneered in his heart, but did not say anything specifically. He just bowed and waited for Qin Bo to finish speaking before saying: "Qin is engaged, what are the instructions for coming here?"
"I dare not take this order." Qin Bo's eyes rolled, "Since the sixth year of Taixing, Wuling in South Vietnam has had frequent incidents, such as crossing the border, stealing, hunting and injuring people, and it is also common to sell food, medicinal materials, cloth, salt, pig iron, horses and other things in violation of laws. In addition, Wuling Man's various villages are even more ready to move. Although there are places to comfort me, there are many killing officials to rob money and expose the body, which makes the local counties and towns miserable."
Qin Bo looked sincere, "The general must have known that the garrison in this county and township was weak, and it was already quite difficult to deal with ordinary bandits. He was even more unable to do so. The situation in Wuling County is now like saying "the government orders do not leave the city walls", which is definitely not an exaggeration, especially since this winter, the situation has worsened. Not only is the rampant chaos in Nanyue, but also the soldiers of the cavalry and Sichuan gathered in Yufu area, which seemed to be eyeing our Jiangdong... The situation is very dangerous. If you use troops to Nanyue and use thunder to attack the camps of one and two southern barbarians with thunder, the situation can be determined, and the other can be used as military service... I wonder what the general thinks?"
Speaking of this, Qin Bo stopped, drinking some water while secretly observing Zhu Huan's expression. But to his surprise, Zhu Huan almost didn't think deeply, and asked directly: "Have the governor and Zhang Gong formed a resolution on the use of military forces in the Southern Barbarians?"
Qin Bo was stunned, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "This matter... has not been decided yet... After all, military affairs need to be cautious, so we should consider it carefully... and come to ask the general in order to make a decision earlier..."
Zhu Huan nodded, saying nothing for a long time. He had heard of this news and had thought about it carefully. He had already had a slight slut in his heart, but now he just reorganized the language. He lowered his head and thought, Qin Bo did not speak, as if he was holding water on his face, drinking and waiting.
After a long time, Zhu Huan slowly said: "I think it is inappropriate for the use of military forces in Nanyue."
Qin Bo's eyebrows and eyes suddenly jumped, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhu Huan. After a long time, he asked: "Is there any basis for the general's judgment?"
"Yes." Zhu Huan answered with certainty.
Zhu Huan's basis is very simple. For the Wuling Man, or the larger-scale South Yue Barbarians, it is unlikely that they will have the strength to go to war with Jiangdong in full swing, and they will not have such determination. Therefore, the rebellion will not have any huge fluctuations in the range, and will only spread within a certain area.
In addition, the enemy of Jiangdong is not the people from South Vietnam, but should pay more attention to the situation in the Central Plains. After all, news came from the Central Plains that it is often half a year later to reach the Jiangdong region. This kind of lag in news may even occur when there is an excellent opportunity. From the occurrence of the incident to the time when Jiangdong is preparing to send troops to make some advantage, the interval between the period is at least one year, and there may be new changes in this year.
Looking back at Jiangdong's own military system, it is impossible for regional military forces to gather together and act without authorization. Even if there is a gathering, it is just a gathering of young and strong counties. If these young and strong men want to conquer cities and territory alone? The same is true for the Wuling Man in the South Vietnamese. Zhu Huan does not think that the Wuling Man can gather many people within such a period of time. As long as the rebellion is controlled within a certain range, it will be harmless.
In Wuling, there are many mountains and dense forests, so you can only walk on two legs. Even if Wuling wants to connect with more people from South Vietnam, even if you don’t talk about the time you are delaying on the road, you still need to discuss some issues about the distribution of interests. After the agreement is made, you may be able to redeem this Zhuanghe for two or three seasons.
Under such circumstances, how do you need Jiangdong to assemble a large army to encircle and suppress it?
As for smuggling or military use, Zhu Huan thinks it is actually an excuse.
Could it be that Wuling Barbarians will not smuggle, and other South Yue barbarians will not smuggle, let alone the largest group in Jiangdong, which is not the Yue people, aren't it?
Zhu Huan finally said: "The Wuling Rebellion was just a tribe that caused trouble and then spread... Not to mention how many rebels were, even if they went to clear the crackdown, what would it be beneficial to Jiangdong?"
"If you want to encircle and suppress the Wuling area, you will need at least 30,000 troops, and you don't care about equipment and pay. Just talk about the transportation of food and grass... In addition, spring rain is coming and the road is difficult to move. If the Wuling barbarians avoid fighting in the mountains and forests, there is no way to do it." Zhu Huan slowly concluded, "Therefore, it should not be fought."
Qin Bo's expression was somewhat unwilling to Zhu Huan's direct remarks.
Qin Bo was still very excited when he came because he thought it was his chance to look up again, and now that such an opportunity was cut off by Zhu Huan. It was like saying in front of him that Qin Bo ran over so far, and it was useless at all...
Qin Bo wanted to pick out some of Zhu Huan's mistakes to criticize, but he didn't know much about military affairs and didn't know much about the situation in Nanyue, so he couldn't find any specific inappropriate things that Zhu Huan said. But if he didn't say anything, he just went back in shame and had to go to the kind of life with his tail in his arms again, then Qin Bo was unwilling to give up, so he thought for a long time before he said: "What the general said makes sense...but this Wuling rebellion and killing the Guanjian Village would not be a fraud? Even if Wuling did not have tens of thousands of chaotic troops, there were still some 20,000 or 30,000 people. If it was allowed to develop and spread, it would be difficult to end at that time..."
Zhu Huan's lips moved, and he did not speak directly. He stayed in the army for more time than Qin Bo, so of course he knew something. For example, at some point, the soldiers in charge of the guards reported urgently when they saw the turmoil, and in order to reduce some of his responsibilities, they would exaggerate some expressions. The number reported was inevitably exaggerated. There were only dozens of people, but it might be hundreds when they reported, but they became thousands of people after another change of hands. If there were really a thousand enemies, it would be even more amazing. The urgent report was tens of thousands, as if all the barbarians in the entire Nanyue region were rushing towards a small county at the same time...
Zhu Huan did not explain this issue, he just added: "The Wuling Man Rebellion is probably the case, but there are not many people, maybe more than a thousand, or nearly ten thousand, which is not enough to make a big move..."
Qin Bo was anxious and asked directly: "So, according to the general's opinion, is it just sitting down and ignoring it?"
Zhu Huan glanced at Qin Bo and said, "But the same is true. I will use gold, silk, wealth and property to make good use of money, and then make a lot of profits. Differentiate one or two, and it can be calmed down." This is a common method and a really effective model. After all, Wuling Man is like most Nanyue Man, both are tribes of all sizes. As long as it is divided, there will be nothing left.
『…』Qin Bo was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly, 『I hope it can be so smooth...』
Zhu Huan's strategy is close to reality and should have been very good, but because he is too realistic, so...
