Chapter 3196 The feud between one family and two people
Chapter 3195 The feud between one family and two people
"Bang the drum!"
"March!"
Zhu Zhi, who was standing on the battleship, waved his arms and urged Jiangdong Army to attack forward.
He couldn't completely ignore Zhu Ran's life and death, but he couldn't just care about Zhu Ran's life and death either.
Zhu Zhi had two sons, technically four, but two of them died in infancy. Including Zhu Ran, he could be considered to have three sons. In this way, it seems that there is no harm in missing Zhu Ran, but in fact it is
The world is turned upside down.
If the Zhu family were to lose Zhu Ran, they might just change their surname to Sun!
Zhu Zhi got a son from old age.
Originally, Zhu Zhi thought that he had no children, so he adopted Zhu Ran as his adopted son in order to inherit the mantle and inherit the family business. However, he did not expect that after accepting Zhu Ran, Zhu Cai was born...
At this time, Zhu Ran was the elder and Zhu Cai was the young.
Zhu's army was already familiar with Zhu Ran, and Zhu Ran did have some abilities. If a quarrel broke out, Zhu's father and son would suddenly fight each other. You must know that the survival rate of children in the Han Dynasty was very low, and Zhu Zhi did not dare to
He said that his child would definitely survive, so he did not dare to throw Liu Feng aside immediately like Liu Bei did.
As Zhu Cai grew up, Zhu Ran's proportion in Zhu's foundation increased instead of decreasing.
The reason is very simple. When Zhu Zhi got a son when he was old, he naturally pampered him a lot and failed to discipline him. Therefore, Zhu Cai was in the dangerous environment of Jiangdong when he was young.
Horse riding and archery!
However, Sun Quan greatly praised this and even encouraged it...
As the eldest son of the Zhu family, he doesn't know the classics or the art of war. He only knows how to ride a horse, whip a whip, and charge into battle. Do you think he can defeat the world?
So can Zhu Zhi leave the Zhu family property in the hands of such a person?
Later, Zhu Zhi had a second biological son. He originally thought that this time he could teach him personally and train him well, but he didn't expect that the training would come out, and it was indeed good. Then he was targeted by Sun Quan, who let him
Sun Ce's daughter married Zhu Zhi's second son.
So Zhu Zhi had two sons, one was brave and foolhardy, and could only do reckless things. The other was married to a princess and was considered half of the Sun family. They wanted to wait for the third son to become a talent, but they lost their luck. Zhu Zhi had two sons one after another.
All died young.
Now Zhu Zhi is taking Zhu Ran on an expedition, on the one hand for the sake of the Zhu family's foundation, and on the other hand to further win over Zhu Ran. In troubled times, if there are no people like Zhu Ran to protect the Zhu family's family business, his two
I'm afraid the son will kill the Zhu family directly!
But now Zhu Ran is captured by the Sichuan and Shu troops...
This suddenly forced Zhu Zhi into a dilemma.
If he continues to attack regardless, Zhu Ran will die with a high probability.
This will obviously directly harm Zhu's interests.
If Zhu Ran is to survive, Zhu Zhi must stop this war.
And letting the war stop would definitely be detrimental to the Sun family's great cause.
So, should we protect the Zhu family or the Sun family?
Zhu Zhi must make a decision, and before making this decision, he must first do or determine something.
Zhu Zhi stared intently at the front line.
He is from Jiangdong, but he is also the head of the Zhu family.
Country and family, which one is more important?
People of different faiths naturally have different choices.
In the Han Dynasty, local governments are now in charge of their own affairs. If there are orders from the court, they will be given. If you want them, they will be given. If the people have complaints, they are all because of orders from above. If you get benefits, it means local difficulties. Those who talk about it are also loyal and honest.
In fact, corrupt officials are being killed one after another, and they are constantly being killed...
Under such circumstances, what kind of faith would Zhu Zhi have?
What choice will you make?
"Captain..."
The guard beside Zhu Zhi looked around and called in a low voice with some hesitation, as if he wanted to say something.
But Zhu Zhi did not look back and seemed to be shouting for a fierce battle.
The guard was a little helpless. He felt that Zhu Zhi's current location was not very good and was a bit too close to the mountain city.
From his perspective, above the mountain city...
not good!
"Captain! Danger!"
The guard shouted, he had seen stone bullets whizzing out from the mountain city and flying towards Zhu Zhi's ship.
Zhu Zhi still didn't move.
The next moment, stone bullets roared and landed around Zhu Zhilou's boat.
"Bang!"
Large water splashes filled the scene.
Zhu Zhi slowly fell down...
"Captain!"
"Captain!!"
The guards quickly stepped forward to protect Zhu Zhi.
Maybe Zhu Zhi was eager to fight, or maybe the mountain city had strengthened its firing range. Anyway, the stone bullets and kerosene bombs above the mountain city were now hitting the vicinity of Zhu Zhi's flagship as if they were free.
The intertwining of water splash and flame is a wonderful sight.
Jiangdong's war drums have ceased.
"Captain!!"
There was chaos on board the building's flagship.
Zhu Zhi's whole body was intact, but he was unconscious with his eyes closed.
Zhu's guards hurriedly carried Zhu Zhi into the cabin, and then without saying a word, they turned around and escaped from such a dangerous situation.
When the general's flag moves, the whole army will pay attention.
The first to retreat was none other than the troops directly under the Zhu family led by Zhu Zhi.
There is naturally no problem with this matter. After all, most of the Chinese army is from the Zhu family, or the Jiangdong Military Academy, which has a close relationship with the Zhu family...
These troops directly under the Zhu family are closely related to the Zhu family themselves. When they saw Zhu Zhi fall, they would withdraw their troops directly regardless of changes in the battlefield. For them, Zhu Zhi is their heaven. If he falls today, then
Is there anything more terrifying than the sky falling?
"withdraw!"
Once the Chinese army moves, the entire army is implicated.
Among the water and land in the east of the Yangtze River, the drummers who were playing drums opened their mouths wide and turned their heads to look in the direction of Zhu Zhi's flagship. Seeing that the flag of Zhu Zhi's flagship was tilted and that Zhu Zhi was not seen on the building, they couldn't help but loosen their grip.
, the drumstick fell.
As soon as the war drums stopped, all Jiangdong soldiers noticed something was wrong and turned around to look.
Then at this moment, it seemed that everyone's movements stopped for a few breaths.
"what's the situation?!"
"withdraw……"
Jiangdong's Chinese army retreated violently, and the two extended wings naturally turned into trees without roots.
Some of the smart ones yelled immediately, turned around and ran away, while the other slow ones just stood there, at a loss.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Without faith, if there are many people, there will be no need for a ball?
"Ouch! Kill him! Your head will be exchanged for military merit..."
At this time, Gan Ning was covered in blood from the fight and was still moving forward with his sword.
In this battle, his line was the hardest.
It was up to him to resist the pressure from the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces.
At the beginning of the war, the navy he led was damaged due to losses, but others had a lot of gossip...
No matter what dynasty it is, whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, there will always be many more people chatting with their hands on their hips than those who are immersed in doing things.
Gan Ning trained the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces, didn't he do his best? But the soldiers did not just click and click, and then their proficiency would rise rapidly. When they met the Jiangdong soldiers who were good at water warfare, they were not suppressed very easily.
Is it a normal thing?
But there are some people who will murmur, babble, discuss this and comment on that.
Gan Ning didn't seem to say anything on the surface, but there was always a fire hidden in his heart, and now it burst out!
After this battle, as long as these Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces can survive, they will become the backbone of the future naval forces!
On top of the mountain city, Zhuge Liang shook his head and looked at Jiangdong's army, which had been defeated because of the fall of Zhu Zhi alone. He sighed, "The defeat of Jiangdong was due to the lack of bravery of the soldiers and the lack of strong armor. This is the disadvantage of the system."
"What are the disadvantages of the system?" Faping asked.
Zhuge Liang nodded, "The Jiangdong military system is based on conferring troops. After the father dies, the son succeeds, the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. Starting from the Sun family, it was also the fault of the Sun family."
The military conferment system is also called the "Leading Army System" or the "World Military System". The monarch gives a fixed number of soldiers to his subjects. After the father dies, the son succeeds, and the elder brother succeeds the younger brother. It can basically be regarded as the family's private armed force. Although in the history of the Three Kingdoms
Among them, tribes of generals from other countries are also relatively common, but hereditary situations are rare. Compared with Wei and Shu, Soochow's military conferment system is obviously more feudal.
"In this case, does Jiangdong not know the disadvantages?" Faping saw that the danger of the current battle situation had been lifted, Jiangdong's soldiers fled and retreated, and the entire balance of victory had completely tilted towards Sichuan and Shu, so he naturally relaxed and responded to what Zhuge Liang said.
I became interested in political issues.
Zhuge Liang nodded, "The lord has a say, and control is the government. If the politics are unclear, the system must be dark. The system in Jiangdong was caused by the unclear master and the disloyalty of the ministers. It was not the fault of the people or the soldiers."
Fa Ping handed over his hand and said, "Please give me some advice."
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhu Ran crying bitterly on the city wall, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The Zhu family's elite soldiers rushed to the city just now, wasn't it just to see with their own eyes whether Zhu Ran was really captured?
Zhu Zhi has such a decisive decision. On the one hand, he shows his viciousness and sophistication. On the other hand, he also shows Jiangdong's ills incisively and vividly...
However, these things were also within Zhuge Liang's expectations.
"The defeat in this battle is not the fault of the general..." Zhuge Liang walked up to Zhu Ran, whose face was covered with tears and snot. "General Zhu knows that your father has worked hard, so he should do his best to fulfill his filial piety... Come on, please."
General Zhu, please go back and rest!"
Someone took Zhu Ran away.
Faping looked on and seemed to have some insights.
"Since the Zhu family has... fallen, are you not afraid... of being punished?" Fa Ping was a little hard to understand.
Zhuge Liang laughed, "Of course you will be punished if you punish the guilty, but the family's soldiers are in hand, only the skin is injured and the muscles and bones are not moved, so it doesn't matter... What's more..."
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "Sun Zhongmou from Jiangdong is weak, Zhou Gongjin is seriously ill, and there is chaos in South Vietnam... The Jiangdong clan had no intention of going on an expedition. Zhu Junli's actions played into the hands of the Jiangdong clan. How could they not be closely related to each other and help each other?"
The reason? It’s just the sound of thunder and the gentle falling of rain.」
Fa Ping was stunned.
There is no doubt that any system is formulated by the superstructure. An effective system can never be negotiated freely by ordinary people. Historically, the alliance system of nomadic peoples has been developed for thousands of years.
The inability to develop any high-level civilization means that the Free Alliance is basically a gimmick. What really works under the skin of the Alliance is the rule of the oligarchs.
At the beginning of the dynasty, perhaps the system would be biased towards the bottom, but as the number of the ruling class increases, more and more knife-holders will take advantage of the people's interests. Eventually, the distribution of interests will inevitably tend to favor the ruling class, and the bottom will become more and more interested.
Harsh. The typical example is the Ming Dynasty. In its early days, there were still some systems that were close to the people. However, the further it developed, the more decadent the Ming Dynasty became. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was almost on the side of the people.
On the opposite side, even if the Qing army does not enter the pass, it will inevitably be defeated by the next dynasty.
Therefore, the Jiangdong military conferment system was originally a system that existed for the Sun family to survive in Jiangdong. What supported the military conferment system were the "Fengyi system" and the "Fuke system". The former was a financial system for recruiting private soldiers.
The latter is used to protect the personal expenses of the generals who confer troops. In fact, the realization of the Jiangdong military conferment system relies on the separation and concession of military and economic rights. In other words, the generals who confer troops realize the military, political and financial affairs to a certain extent.
independence. Obviously, this has serious hidden dangers for the rulers.
Although this system allowed Jiangdong to avoid any big troubles in the short period of time when the three generations changed, it also led to major hidden dangers in Jiangdong. By transferring rights, the enthusiasm of the generals was mobilized, which was a wartime policy and had strong influence.
Temporary. Therefore, after the regime is stabilized, countermeasures need to be taken to avoid the transformation of military generals into warlords and the transformation of local vassal towns.
But it is easy to give it out, but difficult to take it back.
Moreover, this kind of thing is very difficult to control. As a result, in the later period of Sun Quan, he could not command the generals at all. Even Lu Su, who was imaged as an honest man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, had more than 10,000 direct subordinates, which made Sun Quan really miss him.
It's easy to wait until Lu Su dies, then reveal his pig likeness and let out a sigh...
Why does Lu Su have so many soldiers?
That's because after Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su led his troops on his behalf.
Why didn't Zhou Yu dare to let Sun Quan lead his troops after he died?
Anyone who understands this naturally understands.
In order to control these generals and prevent them from unlimited expansion, Jiangdong's troops are almost completely privatized. The generals recruit themselves, raise their own money, are responsible for their own profits and losses, and bear all risks themselves. In this way, the soldiers recruited will definitely be the only ones.
Listen to the generals alone, rather than follow Sun Shiwan's orders. In order to deal with these problems, Sun Quan was forced to invent many supporting measures, such as the fengyi system, the duke system, etc. to restrict the generals, while the fengyi system and the duke system
Customization is at the expense of transferring taxes and population, and it also damages Jiangdong's financial foundation in disguise.
In other words, patching one bug creates more bugs...
Looking at the development history of Jiangdong, everyone is vying to be the first to conquer Shanyue, but when it comes to foreign wars, everything is a mess.
The crusade against Shanyue means the expansion of private soldiers, but fighting against foreign countries means the consumption of private soldiers.
Therefore, in Jiangdong's foreign wars, not only did the large families in Jiangdong have a low desire to fight, but even the Huaisi Group often did not work hard in order to preserve its strength.
The shortcomings of the current system in Jiangdong are now fully exposed.
As soon as Zhu Zhi fell, the Chinese army retreated directly, leading to the defeat of the entire army...
In any major war, it is often only after the victory or defeat is decided that a truly large number of casualties begin to occur.
There will be victory and defeat first, and then there will be heavy casualties.
So morale is very important.
Maybe Jiangdong really had a chance to capture Yufu, maybe just a little bit short, but it doesn't matter now. When the thread in the hearts of Jiangdong's soldiers was broken, Jiangdong's army, which was ten times the size of Yufu, began to attack on a large scale.
Defeat...
Once the people's hearts are distracted, it has nothing to do with combat power or the number of people.
Suppose at this time someone shouted among the Jiangdong Army to gather their soldiers and counterattack the Yufu Sichuan and Shu defenders who were pursuing them across the board. With the numerical advantage, not only would they not be defeated, but they would also have a chance to fight back and capture Yufu.
But war is not such a simple calculation.
It's the human heart.
Zhu Zhi fell, even if all the Yufu defenders were killed, what would happen?
Every military academy, and even every Jiangdong soldier, knows in their hearts that there are many of them, but the more people there are, the less likely they are to work together.
Throughout the entire history of China, there are only a few people who can make the whole country work together...
So now, the choice before Jiangdong soldiers is very simple, whoever escapes in front will survive.
Those who fall behind will die.
A large number of casualties began to appear when they fled...
"Withdraw! Withdraw!"
A certain Jiangdong military academy shouted, "Go east! Follow the governor's ship!"
If Yufu loses this battle, the camp built here will definitely not be able to be saved, so he can only continue to retreat to the east. Fortunately, it saves effort to run down the river.
As for the other Jiangdong soldiers on the shore who haven't had time to get on the boat yet...
"Wait a moment!"
Jiangdong's soldiers on the shore rushed towards the river and tried to get on the boat that was about to evacuate.
"Ahhh... if you don't row the boat quickly! The boat is going to capsize!"
The military academy on the ship wielded a knife and chopped off the fingers of the Jiangdong soldiers who were clinging to the side of the ship.
Fingers one by one, like sections of ham, fell into the river.
The veins in the military academy bulged out, as if he was going crazy, and he even used more force than when he attacked Yufu Capital just now.
Just kidding, even if the attack on Yufu is defeated, it will be the credit of the general, but if you take one step too late now, you will be the one who dies!
"Kill! Kill the Jiangdong thieves!" Wu Ban was so high-spirited that he chased them all the way from the island to the middle of the river. He still refused to give up. He raised his sword and led his guards. When he encountered Jiangdong soldiers, he would kill them.
As the sun gradually set in the west and dusk fell, many Jiangdong soldiers who were panicking could not choose their way to board the ship, so many tried to escape to the mountains.
Yan Yan, who escaped from the mountain city, was different from Wu Ban who wanted to behead more people and earn more merits. He shouted, "Drive away the defeated troops! Drive away the defeated troops!"
The speed of slashing and stabbing with knife and gun was really too slow.
Under Yan Yan's order, the Sichuan and Shu soldiers began to line up, only to attack the stubborn Jiangdong soldiers who tried to resist, and drove the Jiangdong defeated soldiers to the Jiangdong camp not far away...
"ah!"
"Mother..."
The screams started getting louder.
When I am happy, I am having fun by myself. When I am in pain, I think of my mother.
In fact, there are still many Jiangdong soldiers stationed in the Jiangdong camp, and these Jiangdong soldiers did not lose much physical strength. However, when they saw Jiangdong's defeated troops coming, these Jiangdong soldiers who guarded the camp immediately turned around.
Just run.
The mountains and plains were filled with Jiangdong soldiers fleeing in disorder.
Just like Jiangdong's already chaotic people's hearts.
