Chapter 5498: The stragglers return to farming and resume production
The ancestor nodded and said seriously: "This is a good idea, but it is still not enough to provoke a large-scale rebellion in Qingzhou. Even if you can find a way to make Pilu Daoxiu rebel, it will only be him and his
Some of his cronies, the troops he had collected, were strong and strong, and they finally had a peaceful life. Why did they follow Pi?
What about Lu Daoxiu who rebelled together? The Pilu family's previous power in Qingzhou was almost completely disintegrated, with only a few hundred clansmen left. If it weren't for the strength of Jin's Northern Expedition army, they wouldn't have been able to fight back. And those who came to surrender,
After all, they are just the surrendered Jin army, Liu Yu and Liu Jingxuan who surrendered, and they are not here to show off their ways."
Doupeng nodded: "That's right, so it will take some time to start here in Qingzhou. The Lanxiang Civil Service School run by Liu Muzhi has recruited nobles from all over the country from the beginning, and after being trained and governed, it will be decentralized to
County and village officials are grassroots officials, but due to the powerful local collectives in Qingzhou
Counterattack, let them fail to implement the decree, or even violate the law and dereliction of duty and be forced to cancel it. Now, most of the officials in this school are the children of Qingzhou's local powerful. With their legal status after graduating from this training, they can return to their hometowns as officials in an open and honest manner.
, continue to hold power in the hands of your own family."
"But this is fundamentally in conflict with Liu Yu's vision. What Liu Yu wants is a unified world. What he wants is centralized power and governance with orders and prohibitions. He will never allow such local separatist forces to appear again, so when he dealt with
After the Tianshi Dao Rebellion,
We will definitely reorganize the Lanxiang Civil Service School in Qingzhou to ensure that enough non-local nobles enter this civil service school and be released as civil servants after graduation. This will conflict with the interests of the local powerful in Qingzhou. At this time, we can
No more fuss."
"Another one is that Liu Jingxuan did not participate in the pursuit of Lingnan this time, but led his troops back to Qingzhou. From the perspective of his disciples, this was by no means an external defensive move, because he did not return to Qingzhou to garrison during the most difficult time.
If you go back after such a victory, I'm afraid there will be new actions, such as leading troops to purge and suppress
I'm afraid it's impossible for Qingzhou to be strong and powerful, because they haven't had any rebellions this year like last year. So I think that after Liu Jingxuan returned, he probably wanted to consolidate the Qingzhou garrison, streamline the troops and streamline administration. At the same time, I would hand over the Qingzhou governor and the Qingzhou legion.
The position of general is to take the lead and set an example for disarmament."
The black robe frowned: "Disarmament? Is Liu Yu really willing? He finally took advantage of the chaos of destroying Tianshi Dao and had an army of two to three hundred thousand. This force can be used for the next Western Expedition to Qiaoshu or
It’s the Northern Expedition to the Later Qin Dynasty, isn’t it just right? Once the army is disbanded, it’s not that easy to rally it again. Ancestor, do you think what I said is right?”
The ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "On this point, I agree with Venerable Doupeng. Since Liu Yu established Yi, the past seven or eight years have been almost without war. It's just war.
The scale and intensity vary, but in general, the long and continuous war has placed a heavy burden on the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty, especially the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan.
In the past three years, the whole country has experienced tragic wars. Most of the prime-age men have been forced to enlist in the army, or are engaged in tasks to support the front line. Large areas of farmland have been deserted, and the output of the fields has dropped sharply. If it had not been for the previous two years to save some grain,
If it weren't for the aristocratic families in Wudi still maintaining a certain level of production capacity, Liu Yu's battle would have been impossible to win long ago."
"When it comes to the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, these aristocratic families in Wu were already reluctant. After more than a year of hard fighting, they finally destroyed Nan Yan. They secured a lot of territory for these aristocratic families in Qingzhou, and at the same time allowed them to invest and operate.
The land of the six counties in Jiangbei was completely safe. This made these aristocratic families a little satisfied and felt that this battle was not a loss. But what followed immediately was that Tian
During the Shidao Rebellion, when Liu Yu was campaigning against Nanyan, he defeated the three armies of Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and Yuzhou in a row, and directed his troops towards Jiankang. Not only did he destroy the entire central and western regions of Jin, but he also forced
The Wu Di family spent almost all their food and accumulation to support Liu Yu and the others in their fight against Tianshi Dao. This battle has lasted for nearly two years, and it is only now that it has come to an end."
"What is different from the situation in previous years is that the high-ranking families in Wu directly dispatched a large number of manpower, including villagers and tenants, to fight in the war, or to engage in transportation work to the front line. Like the Yu family,
It can be said that almost all the efforts of the whole family were spent and all their savings were spent. If they continue to fight in the north,
In a country-destroying war like the Expedition and the Western Expedition, even if these Wu family members were willing, they would not be able to provide enough supplies. If they continue to fight, I am afraid that they will end up like Ran Min before, without fighting for a month.
If there is no one to return to farming in the Central Plains, and people eat each other, it will only accelerate the country's demise, rather than achieve any results in one go."
"So, even if Liu Yu wanted to continue fighting and continue the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition in one go, the country's strength could no longer support him to continue fighting the war, because the Northern Expedition was a long journey, and fighting in an enemy country required transportation of thousands of miles.
Food and grass, and the Later Qin and the Northern Wei were both big countries, unlike the one-state land like Nanyan, where they could grit their teeth and fight.
It will definitely lead to a long tug-of-war. For Liu Yu now, the best way is to recuperate for a few years, save enough food and grass, and retrain hundreds of thousands of combat-ready soldiers. And, most importantly,
First, straighten out the internal affairs and clear out the other military leaders within the Beifu Army who have been restricting him, as well as the high-ranking families outside the Beifu Army who do not listen to his orders."
"If you want to seize the military power of other generals of the Beifu Army, especially Liu Yi and Zhuge Changmin, if you are not careful, it may lead to a large-scale civil war. This is what Liu Yu must try to avoid. If he insists on the Northern Expedition, it will give Liu Yu
Yi and Zhuge Changmin gave them opportunities and excuses to continue to retain their own legions. By then, Liu Yu had lost the opportunity in terms of righteousness and could not seize their armies again. Only after the Tianshi Dao was pacified this time, he could use the excuse to
Resumption of production, dismantling of factories
There are people in the army, and then the army is reorganized, and the generals who have meritorious service are promoted or the defeated generals are punished. Only in this way can we have an excuse to legitimately reorganize the army and put all the main armies under the trust of the army.
The subordinates of the generals. For Liu Yi and Zhuge Changmin, the method of promotion and surrender can be used to let them enter the court as high-ranking officials or serve as governors in other major states, and separate them as much as possible from their original legions.
