Chapter 3447: Heavy on the outside and clumsy on the inside
Chapter 3446: Heavy on the outside and clumsy on the inside
Just as riots broke out in the Hedong area newly controlled by Fei Qian, the struggle between locals and outsiders in the inner reaches of Jiangdong also intensified.
The concepts between locals and outsiders here may be different from some concepts in later generations.
Strictly speaking, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, those people from the Chu region were actually refugees from the Central Plains. Those who then combined with the Nanman Mountains and Yue to create the Chongniao Seal Script may be better regarded than the current Jiangdong people of the Han Dynasty.
Call it a local.
After all, the Zhou Dynasty lasted for eight hundred years, and the Han Dynasty was barely half as long as the Zhou Dynasty.
The southern part of the Yangtze River, the Baiyue area, has more mountains and less land.
No matter which mountain you climb, if you look across, you will see a vast expanse of high and low mountains. Therefore, in such a terrain and under the current conditions of the Han Dynasty, the population cannot stay densely in a small area.
.The low productivity means that once too many people gather, the poor products cannot support the intensive consumption, and Samoko has to be pushed by more and more subordinates to march to Han counties one after another.
Shamoko pulled out the knife from the chest of a Han official, and then pushed the corpse of the Han official, who looked frightened, to the ground.
Looking at the mess all around him, Samoko sighed softly.
The people under his command had no problem wielding swords and guns to kill. Even if they were bleeding, injured, or mutilated, as long as they were still breathing, it seemed to be no big deal. After all, in the harsh mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, there was a lack of medical treatment, many mosquitoes, and bacterial miasma.
The races of people who survived the mountains of South Vietnam basically have some special BUFFs in their bodies.
Just like the clay friends from the Midi Empire, they were captured from the place of origin, 20% to 30% died from injuries, and half died during long-distance transportation. Then they went to the manor to pick cotton. Under the intense work, only 30% survived.
, so the physical genes of Ni Ge in Midi are very strong, because their ancestors have been selected by one out of ten, or even one out of fifty.
Shanyue's screening is not as strong as Brother Ni physically, but his resistance to mosquitoes is relatively high...
For example, eating raw food, consuming hair and drinking blood, but people in Shanyue think it is fresh, sweet, crunchy and crunchy.
Therefore, it is easy for various problems to arise between these people in Shanyue and the Han people.
Sometimes it may be just small things.
When Shamoko's guards saw that Shamoko didn't look happy after he killed the Han officials, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
This is a rare big fish!
They also specially left Shamoko to kill him to show their respect and admiration for Shamoko.
Shamoko looked at the guards around him and said nothing. Instead, he walked aside and sat down. He felt a little powerless now. It was not a combat problem, but a lack of management.
There are indeed problems with the Han officials in Jiangdong. Many officials blindly favor the Han people and protect the interests of the clan, turning a blind eye to the casualties of the people in Shanyue. Samoko was indeed very resentful about these things at first, but after a trip to Sichuan and Shu,
Only then did he realize that the problem was not with officials in one county or one county, but with the entire Jiangdong.
At least when Samoko was in Sichuan and Sichuan, he didn't feel any discrimination from the Han people there.
So Samoko didn't think there was anything wrong with killing the Han officials in Jiangdong, but what bothered them was the problem after the killing.
He has now captured five Jiangdong counties and occupied almost half of Changsha County. However, their overall strength has not been improved after capturing five counties. On the contrary, it has become more chaotic and weaker!
Won the battle, but became weaker...
Every time a Han county was captured, there was a good harvest, but it soon disappeared.
And it disappeared inexplicably.
A Han warehouse has just been opened, but it may not survive the third day, or even three days, and there will be no food again.
After checking, I found that there was no waste and everything was eaten.
In other words, the main thing is not waste, but endless, uncontrolled consumption and use.
Samoko once wanted to take control, but there were no accounts, and he didn't know who took how much and who ate how much.
It is a very difficult concept for mountain people who don't even know what two plus two equals to understand the problem of two times two, because even if they know the answer, they will stare and say, since they are all the same, then
Just add, why do you need to know one more multiplication arithmetic? Isn't adding simpler?
Moreover, due to the purposeless and uncontrolled killings of the Vietnamese barbarians in Shanxi, most of the original Han people in the counties occupied by Samoko had fled.
When Shamoko asked why these people wanted to kill those Han people, Shannan was confused, "Shouldn't they be killed? What's wrong? What's wrong with killing them? They are Han people!"
At this time, the sun has completely risen. The sky and the earth do not appear bright because of the abundant sunshine. Instead, they appear gray because of the dilapidated scene around them.
"If we continue fighting like this, we will fail..."
Samoko was silent for a while and then said, "The Jiangdong people are preparing to counterattack, and our strength has been dispersed... And we still have many women and children with little fighting power. What do you think they are here for?"
Samoko's guard scratched his head, not understanding what Samoko meant.
Shanyue men do not do housework in tribal villages.
They did nothing but fight and prepare for battle.
This is determined by the way of life, so when a county is conquered, the women and children of the family will soon follow.
The men of Shanyue ate, drank, slept, and when they woke up, they strengthened themselves and prepared to conquer the next city.
Originally, Shamoko thought this was good, but for some reason, now he feels that this model is not good at all. If you win, you will get nothing, if you lose, you will suffer heavy losses. So what is the purpose of fighting?
Is it just to kill a few Han dog officials and then eat, drink and have fun for a few days at a banquet for all the young and old in the village?
"The Zhuge official said before that there would be no tomorrow for us, but I still don't understand what he meant by that," Samoko said, "I probably know it now..."
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you mean..." The guard is very big, but he seems to have a small brain. To him, tomorrow is just tomorrow, the sun will still rise, and there is still nothing different.
"You said, now we..." Shamoko sighed, "Forget it...go and call all the leaders..."
The guard hurriedly responded and left in a hurry. He knew nothing about the strategic battle situation and could not understand Samoko's current worries at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Samoko's simple and direct order.
Just do it without saying anything.
But other bosses are not as simple and direct as guards.
Shamoko wanted these leaders to gather their troops and prepare for a large-scale counterattack by Jiangdong's army, and Shamoko said that the longer Jiangdong's current counterattack is delayed, the more fierce the subsequent counterattack will be.
The leaders nodded one after another, apparently not disobeying Samoko's order, but when it came to execution, it was so difficult and problematic that it simply didn't move.
Samoko was very angry, but he had no good solution.
Shanyue's tribal copycat model means that although Samoko has the title of king, when it comes to a specific copycat village, the words of the leader of the copycat may not be effective. Ordinary Shanyue people respect Samoko, but they cannot understand Samoko.
Why did Ke retreat in a "good situation"?
Samoko was anxious, but he couldn't think of any good solution.
It was at this time that Shamoko truly realized that apart from being good at killing people, he didn't seem to have much management talent either...
…
…
Samoko's worries are correct. But unfortunately, even if you have correct thinking, your actions may not be the right thing, and the results may not be good.
In Wujun, east of Jiangdong, there is a deep mansion with a variety of atmosphere.
Just looking at the lintel is not simple.
Not to mention the high blue brick walls and painted tiles, just saying that the steps in front of the door are paved with large bluestone slabs and polished as bright as a mirror, you can know that the identity of the owner here is extraordinary.
Moreover, there are obviously flowers, plants and trees planted in the courtyard, which looks particularly elegant.
Wu County is considered to be a relatively developed county in the east of the Yangtze River, and the population density is naturally relatively high. In such a place, there can be a large mansion to enjoy the tranquility amidst the bustle. Naturally, only the nobles among the nobles can enjoy it.
Zhang Zhao is undoubtedly a "noble person" who is qualified to enjoy such treatment.
Zhang Zhao's reputation has long been established in history.
He is a capable man and, to a certain extent, a loyal minister.
He assisted Sun Quan, and although he had many disputes with Emperor Sun, he still had a beginning and an end.
But at the same time, Zhang Zhao is also a mortal. He will also have his own emotions and temper.
Well, yes, Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan broke down again.
Zhang Zhao believed that he knew the situation in Jiangdong better than Sun Quan.
Jiangdong seems to be a large territory, but it is actually divided into small areas. On the surface, Jiangdong's political system is a complete county capital, all under the management and jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, but in reality
Regarding the matter of going to Jiangdong, it doesn't matter what the big man says, it's what Jiangdong says. Within a specific area of Jiangdong, more power is traded, compromised and restricted.
Within Jiangdong, various gentry clans cooperated and deviated from each other.
Although it is said that Sun Quan is on the stage and leads the army in the name of the Lord of Jiangdong, in fact he is still subject to restrictions from all parties.
The most critical point is that Zhang Zhao believes that this political model is correct.
The power of the monarch cannot be expanded infinitely. This will cause the entire country to be dragged into the abyss by the monarch's desire...
Just like Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
No one will deny the greatness of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, the same Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not bring any additional benefits to the people of the Han Dynasty during the foreign wars. On the contrary, it added more burdens.
Zhang Zhao took Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as an example and hoped that Sun Quan would order a strike.
Zhang Zhao said that the war in Jiangdong was delayed for a long time, and the people of Jiangdong did not gain any benefits from the war, but suffered a lot of losses because of the war.
Zhang Zhao was not expressing purely verbally, but also produced the tax statistics of Jiangdong this year and told Sun Quan that due to the impact of the war, the overall income of Jiangdong has dropped by 30% this year, and the grain harvest has also been reduced. If the war is not stopped,
Then next year, it will continue to suffer bad effects. By then, Jiangdong will be unable to win externally, and it will lose its vitality internally. When the time comes, whether the Cao family or the Fei family takes control of the Central Plains, Jiangdong will not be able to effectively deal with it.
Sun Quan expressed doubts. Why did he say before that there were too many refugees and the local area did not need so much labor, so it was a good idea to send the refugees into the army. Everyone said it was fine, but now they turned around and said that taxes had dropped because of the lack of labor.
?What is going on? Moreover, the people and property captured by the Zhu family from Jiangling are piled up like a mountain on the dock. Anyone who is not blind can see it, so how can it be said that there is nothing gained?
Zhang Zhao smiled.
He laughed at Sun Quan for not being able to tell the difference.
There is a big difference between "people" and "people".
Sun Shiwan was naturally annoyed, so the two broke up on bad terms again.
Zhang Zhao returned home and handed in his sick leave note.
When Sun Quan found out, he cursed again, saying that the old man was pretending to be sick again...
This is almost a common drama between Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan.
Everyone in Jiangdong even made a handicap, saying how many days it would take for the two of them to "get back together" this time.
In the Zhang family's mansion, it was quiet and quiet at this moment.
Although Zhang Zhao's health is not serious, since he is sick, he must look like he is sick. Therefore, whether it is a closed door or the servants and maids in the courtyard, they are all cautious and walk carefully.
Be gentle and cautious, lest you be offended by your master due to any carelessness.
Zhang Zhao would not do anything to these servants directly, but the supervisor would.
Although stewards are also slaves in a certain sense, high-level slaves naturally have the ideological consciousness of high-level slaves.
In the main hall, Qin Song had a look of helplessness on his face.
Qin Song, like Zhang Zhao, was both from Jiangbei, and both of them could be regarded as advisers who had joined Sun Ce's sect in the early days to advise Sun Ce. They also had a good relationship with Zhang Zhao on weekdays, but even so, when Qin Song arrived at Zhang's mansion, he still had to
Sit on a cold bench for a while.
Qin Song also knew that what Zhang Zhao did was not against himself, but against Sun Quan who asked him to come, but what could be done?
Zhang Zhao has such a temper.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for such a temper to gain a foothold in a region like Jiangdong, where relationships are complex and intrigues are extremely intense, let alone hold important positions for a long time. But it happens that the relationships in Jiangdong are complicated, and people from Jiangbei like Zhang Zhao
, in terms of identity, Sun Quan would be more trustworthy than the Jiangdong people, and the most important thing is that every time Zhang Zhao said something, he had a purpose and was not just empty talk.
Just like this time's proposal to withdraw troops, Zhang Zhao also presented data and discussed matters based on the facts.
So after Sun Quan was furious, he wanted to come back to find Zhang Zhao, but out of face, he sent Qin Song first.
After waiting for almost an hour, the servants changed tea three times, and Qin Song also went to change clothes. Zhang Zhaocai wore a rather loose brocade robe, without a crown, but with a silk scarf tied around his head.
He came to see Qin Song with his hair loose.
Qin Song laughed and said, "Why does Mr. Zhang do this?"
Qin Song thought Zhang Zhao was pretending to be sick, so everyone knew this. Seeing that Zhang Zhao even changed his clothes into a hospital gown, it was not necessary, right?
As soon as Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, Qin Song was startled.
"I... am really sick..."
Zhang Zhao's voice was a little hoarse, and even the timbre changed.
Perhaps it was because Sun Quan was angry, perhaps because he was old, or perhaps for some other reason. Anyway, Zhang Zhao was really sick when the leave request was delivered.
"Ah!" Qin Song suddenly became nervous, "Why don't you go and ask the doctor to come!"
Zhang Zhao waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... Haha, it's all an old problem... The doctor has seen it, used gold needles, drank decoction... and it's getting better..."
Qin Song looked at Zhang Zhao's complexion carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Zhao did indeed look a little sick. Although his complexion was not very good, a little lower than normal, it was not bad either. It was indeed not a serious illness.
As people get older, they will inevitably develop various minor problems here and there, just like machines that will wear out after being used for a long time.
"Oh, if I had known that Mr. Zhang was ill, I shouldn't have come!" Qin Song stood up, bowed his hands and saluted Zhang Zhao, "Please forgive Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang should rest in peace and recuperate. I... will come back in a few days..."
…』
"No, no need..." Zhang Zhao waved his hand. Just as he was about to say something, he coughed twice, took a sip of water from the side and pressed it down before continuing, "They're already here...Besides,
Today, the situation in Jiangdong... ahem, I heard that the governor's health... is not good either..."
Qin Song hesitated for a moment, then followed Zhang Zhao's instructions and sat down again.
"Captain...what happened over there?" Qin Song's sources of information were obviously not as good as those of Zhang Zhao and others, so he also wanted to know the situation on the front line.
Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of silk from his sleeve and handed it to Qin Song.
Qin Song looked at it, his face getting paler and whiter.
"This...this..."
Zhou Yu, the governor of Zhou, actually faced the Sichuan and Shu armies in battle and failed to gain an absolute advantage?
Is this still the Sichuan-Sichuan navy?
Is it still the Sichuan-Sichuan Navy that some people swore before that it was short-lived, poorly trained, and had inadequate equipment?
If we cannot achieve an overwhelming victory in the battle with the Sichuan and Sichuan naval forces, then in the future...
Qin Song didn't dare to think about it. He was so frightened when he thought about it that he even shook his hands twice.
Qin Song finished reading and returned the information to Zhang Zhao. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhang Zhao put the silk cloth back into his sleeve, then silently held the bowl of starched water and sipped it bit by bit.
Qin Song looked troubled.
He now regrets coming to Zhang Zhao's place.
Zhang Zhao put down the syrup in his hand and said slowly, "Injecting it with tiles makes you skillful, injecting it with hooks makes you fearful, and injecting it with gold makes you perish. It's skillful, but it's important to be cautious. Everything is foreign.
The most serious one is inner clumsiness. Today, east of the Yangtze River, there are tiles, hooks, and gold. I can tell you this in the text."
