Chapter 728: People are humble when they leave their hometown
It is a basic common sense that people are poor when they leave their hometown. Especially for some powerful families who have considerable local land resources, the difference between being in the hometown and being in a foreign land will be even greater.
These Jiangling people, whose ancestral home is Nanyang, have certainly not experienced the hardships of their ancestors being exiled to other places due to the Hu and Di rebellions, but the story of leaving their hometown and starting from scratch is passed down orally within the family and is deeply influenced by their ears.
If it were not for the support of these famous families in Jiangling, it would be difficult for the King of Xiangdong to gain the advantage of conquering Hou Jing's rebellious army. For example, the king of Liang, Xiao Jin, was in an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Jiangling because he did not receive the full support of the famous families in Xiangyang.
At a disadvantage, he could only protect himself by taking refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty.
After putting down Hou Jing's rebellion, not only did King Xiangdong gain great prestige, but these famous Jiangling families also needed to share in the gains from this successful investment. By keeping the core of the ZTE regime in Jiangling itself, they could gain
One of the biggest returns.
After the repeated destruction by Hou Jing's rebellious army, King Qin, and the Dingluan army, Jiankang is already in dilapidated condition. If we want to rebuild it again, we still don't know how much manpower and material resources and other costs will be invested, and these costs should be
Who will invest?
As the political center of the Southern Dynasties for a long time, Jiankang has a long-standing political tradition. Although the famous Wang Xie family and the Sanwu family suffered huge losses in Hou Jing's rebellion, they were not uprooted. Instead, they took advantage of the opportunity to fight against Hou Jing.
During the course of the rebellion, their control over local resources became more and more secure, and they became a veritable local power.
If the King of Eastern Hunan moved his capital to Jiankang, then the reconstruction of Jiankang City would have to rely on the cooperation of these three Wu clans, and order would also need to be maintained by them. More political resources would inevitably be obtained, and the local foundation would gradually crowd out the city.
Suppressing the space for others to enter the officialdom, many Jiangling people had no advantage when facing these people, except for their status as the late relatives of King Xiangdong.
Although local powerful families such as the Shen family of Wuxing have also produced famous Confucian scholars such as Shen Yue, they have essentially not changed the characteristics of local powerful families. If there were any power disputes between them, it would be difficult for the King of Eastern Hunan to
If they want to reconcile, they will raise their arms and call for soldiers from the countryside to rise up. What do they Jiangling people have?
Specific to an individual, for example, Hu Sengyou, who now serves as an official in the imperial court and leads the army, can be said to be the leading guard general in Jiangling Military Mansion. But once he arrives in Jiankang, he will not only have to be overpowered by people from the same system as Wang Sengbian.
On the one hand, even the powerful local factions like Chen Baxian who entered the court were inferior.
In addition to these changes in the situation, Jiankang's current defense situation is not optimistic either.
The Northern Qi Dynasty made fierce advances again and again, and Liyang, Guangling and other important towns in the north of the Yangtze River were lost one after another, making Jiankang only across the river from the enemy territory, and could be invaded by the enemy at any time.
The last time Hou Jing easily broke through the Yangtze River defense, the Yangtze River natural chasm became no longer so insurmountable in the minds of the people. It was about family and life, and the comfort of the regime, and the broken confidence would not be easily restored. Unless it happens again.
A similar battle across the river was met head-on by the defenders, and their actual actions proved that they had the ability to defend the river.
The city defenses here in Gangneung cannot be said to be impenetrable, but there are no powerful enemies within sight that could threaten its survival.
In the west of Shu, although Wuling King Xiao Ji was rebellious and proclaimed himself emperor, the Xiling Gorge, the main road out of Shu, was still in the hands of Jiangling Military Mansion. As long as the Shu soldiers could not break through this key point of river defense, it would be difficult to advance eastward.
, let alone pose any substantial threat to Jiangling.
Xiangyang in the north was defeated, and the Yueyang King Xiao Jin even had to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty to survive, let alone the opponent of Jiangling Military Mansion.
If there is any visible threat, it is the Jingzhou Governor's Office of the Western Wei Dynasty, which has power across Jianghan.
However, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion also interacted closely with the Jiangling Military Mansion. General Li was not an irritable and vulgar military commander. He was elegant and scholarly, courteous to virtuous corporals, and had the demeanor of a distinguished scholar.
Even Jiangling people who have never come into contact with General Li have fully appreciated the enthusiasm of General Li and the General Manager's Office when they return home to worship their ancestors. It can be clearly said that General Li and the Jingzhou General Manager's Office behind him ignored the friendly agreement between the two parties.
, the greedy and greedy Northern Qi court was fundamentally different.
The Northern Qi Dynasty was a barbarian based in the north of the Yangtze River who was eyeing people and was ready to devour anyone at any time. However, the General Manager of Jingzhou under the governance of General Li was hospitable, magnanimous and tolerant, and was a strategic ally worth making friends with and winning over.
Of course, there is the most basic point. Even if General Li is pretending, the Jingzhou General Administration is also waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack on their Nanliang at any time, which is far less than the threat posed to them by Northern Qi!
Therefore, whether to establish the capital in Jiangling or move it to Jiankang downstream, at least for the people in Jiangling, the former is undoubtedly a better choice.
Of course, not all Jiangling people have such a clear and organized understanding. There are still some people who think that we should follow the past tradition and say that it is a normal regime to be controlled by Jiankang. Otherwise, the people in the Sanwu area far downstream will even
They don’t know the kindness and power of the King of Eastern Hunan, so they naturally don’t regard the Jiangling Military Mansion as the central authority.
But the formation of any concept takes time. Jiankang, the so-called center of the royal industry of the Southern Dynasties, has not always been like this. Back then, who rushed south in a hurry, who would have thought that Jin Emperor Sima Rui would start hundreds of years of river-drawing rule.
What's the political situation? And in the final analysis, the Jiankang regime is just a corner of peace. It's really ridiculous to be stubborn and stubborn!
This is naturally the argument used by Li Tai to persuade these Jiangling people. Everyone has to accept the fact that Jin'ou is incomplete. Even if the capital is moved to Jiankang, the regime is still not complete. And why should the land of Sanwu be Jixia obedient people?
, the common people of Jiangling are just like wild men?
In order to control this series of ideas for Jiangling people, Li Tai has been very diligent these days. He frequently invites these Jiangling people, some of whom are stubborn and stupid, and often invites them multiple times to make them understand and take root.
The interest and significance of Gangneung lies in the fact that you must not be fooled into making a decision that you will surely regret.
To take a step back, even if we want to move the capital to Jiankang, we can think about it in the long term. If we don’t go now, we can go in the future. But if we move the capital to Jiankang rashly, it will be difficult to come back!
All Jiangling people had such worries, and coupled with Li Tai's serious and considerate lobbying, they gradually reached a consensus among themselves, that is, General Li was right! Regardless of their different positions, just the look in their eyes
Generally speaking, General Li saw further and more comprehensively than King Xiangdong!
In fact, Jiangling has not yet discussed this series of issues. Even King Wuling of Shu has proclaimed himself emperor, and the King of Eastern Hunan still coyly refused to accept the advice of his ministers to join. This guy still has a certain confidence in himself.
Requirements, and strive to create an atmosphere of the Lord of ZTE.
But now, although the giant bandits have been eliminated in the country, all parties are still powerful and divided. Their family alone includes Xiao Qi, the king of Liang, who controlled Xiangyang and defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, and Xiao Ji, who separatized Shu and declared himself emperor.
This is obviously not in line with King Xiangdong's expectations for his family and country, so he has been delaying his enthronement and proclaiming himself emperor. Compared with other people in the clan, King Xiangdong finally has some literary character, arrogance and pretentiousness, but it is just his personal ability.
On the other hand, I was a bit too ambitious and underhanded, and I realized in the end that I was just making myself uncomfortable.
At least his coy and forceful pace gave Li Tai an opportunity to contact the people in Jiangling and persuade them to dissuade the relocation of the capital to Jiankang. Li Tai knew that the current Jingzhou Governor's Office brought far more pressure to the Jiangling Military Government than
In the same period in history, it was even greater. If you want King Xiangdong to stay in Jiangling, you must be more careful.
In addition, just like Liu Guangde, a member of the Liu Zhilin clan, Li Tai also selected some people worthy of attention among these people to deepen the relationship, such as Hu Changyi, son of Hu Sengyou, etc.
Hosting banquets, giving gifts, etc. are all basic operations to win people's hearts. Occasionally, Li Tai would invite these people to enter and leave the military camp and government offices, so that they could feel the military and political atmosphere within the Jingzhou Governor's Office.
People often have a sense of fear, vigilance, and even rejection of unknown things, but as long as they understand more, their acceptance will increase accordingly. Li Tai just wanted to show these people from the Southern Dynasties that they were not from the Western Wei Dynasty.
For barbarians who have no rules and regulations, many laws and regulations are even more formal and reasonable than those in Jiangling.
Of course, he still would not let these people have access to real military and political affairs, and the scope of winning people's hearts was not limited to these Jiangling people whose ancestral home was Nanyang.
As they become familiar with each other, he will also extend his tentacles to other talents in Jiangling through these people. For example, Xu Wensheng once told Li Tai that there was a naval general in Jiangling named Xu Shipu who was good at building boats, weapons and other utensils.
Many Jiangling water warfare equipment were made by him.
Such technical talents were what the Jingzhou Governor's Office lacked. Li Tai also used these Jiangling people to carefully inquire about Xu Shipu and other similar talents, hoping to find an opportunity to poach people from Jiangling to enrich his talents here.
