Chapter 720 The Confucian who got the wrong script (3)
The next day, a memorial from Changsha King Liu Fa was delivered to Liu Che's case.
"This guy Liu Fa..." After reading the memorial, Liu Che held his cheek and laughed twice: "He is indeed loyal and honest..."
He's so honest that he doesn't even know how to lie.
Or, is he deliberately selling a flaw?
Lowering his head and looking at Liu Fa's memorial again, Liu Che pursed his lips.
Although the contents of Liu Fa's memorials are basically the same as those of the Qi and Lu kings.
But the reason why an honest person is an honest person is because he can't help but tell the truth.
For example, Liu Fa mentioned a few words about the whole story and reasons for this incident.
Liu Fa said in his memorial that "Qilu merchants Yang and Wang have been saving old money in the country since last year, and they are trading in South Vietnam. They use Chinese money to buy South Vietnam's ivory, spices and rice. Unexpectedly,
He was plotted by South Vietnamese Lieutenant Lu Dao and others to trap and kill him in the name of trading.'
All right.
The political system of the Kingdom of Nanyue, as Liu Che knew, was completely inherited from the Qin system.
This kind of inheritance is more thorough than a copycat like the Han Dynasty.
The status of the Nanyue lieutenant was the same as that of the Qin Dynasty. He was in charge of the capital.
In other words, the duty of the lieutenant of the Kingdom of South Vietnam is to be responsible for the public order and security of its capital, Panyu.
It is roughly similar to the capital garrison commander of later generations.
So the question is, what kind of businessman can make the garrison commander of a country's capital, regardless of appearance and face, go to the border to set up a trap to trap and kill a few businessmen?
Of course, taking into account the integrity of South Vietnam and Minyue.
Such a thing is not impossible.
As a small country, it has always relied on acting rogue and being shameless to get around.
Will the three fat empires in future generations just do such shameful and immoral things?
Liu Che stood up. He walked to the wall in the hall and looked at the huge map hanging on the wall.
He looked at the geography of Changsha and South Vietnam. Then he measured it with his hands.
"It's a thousand miles from Qilu to Changsha..." Liu Che held his cheek and thought, "This happened on Xin Mao last month, that is, on the 11th..."
Then he laughed: "These guys..."
The distance is at least a thousand miles, and even if the news takes the fastest road, it will take at least three or four days to reach Qi State.
This is also the result of mobilizing official power.
From Qilu to Chang'an, it would take at least ten days to report to Chang'an through the eight hundred-mile expedited emergency channel.
That's almost half a month.
But in fact, it can't be so fast.
So, there is a bug.
Liu Che felt as if he had caught something extraordinary.
"The bourgeoisie and capitalism will launch a war for the market..." Liu Che looked at the map with a smile: "Then what will the landlord class launch a war for?"
"Go to the General Office of Building Ships and get the recent shipping report of building ships at Qilu Port..." Liu Che turned his head and ordered Wang Dao.
Liu Che remembered clearly that he once ordered General Lou Chuan to transport immigrants to North Korea at Qilu Port.
Liu Che ignored this matter after giving the order.
But now, Liu Che felt that the trouble should be hidden here.
You know, Qilu area has developed maritime transportation.
There are many local fishermen who make a living by fishing.
Since the beginning of Guan Zhong, the State of Qi has been richest in the world with the tax on fish and salt, and the hegemony of the State of Qi has even been built on fish and salt.
Although the fishermen's boats are all small sampans, they can only fish offshore.
However, it is not without the ability to travel far.
If there is a fleet to lead and protect them, they can still move along the coastline.
Liu Che didn't wait long before General Lou Chuan's report was placed in front of him.
Louchuan Jiangjun Yamen currently has five large and small transshipment ports in the Qilu area, and has nearly a hundred large and small ships specially used for transportation and escort.
Not long ago, Liu Che ordered the deployment of fifteen ships to reinforce Qilu.
Naturally, the building ships are not mobilized alone.
According to the current system of the Han Dynasty, a large ship must be equipped with several related auxiliary ships.
In this way, Lou Chuan Jiangjun Yamen has nearly 200 large and small ships in the Qilu area, nearly 5,000 sailors, and about 4,000 port guards.
After reading General Lou Chuan's report, Liu Che felt that he already knew the truth.
At the very least, I can guess why the Qilu kings and the Confucianists behaved like this?
Three days later, the Xiuyi Guards sent back a report, further confirming Liu Che's guess.
"These scumbags..." Liu Che smiled and cursed a few times.
But finally, these scumbags also know how to do human affairs.
Although, they are still only thinking about their own little calculations, but if they don't do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
It is much better to expand based on your own small calculations than to stay at home and fight within yourself.
In fact, things are easy to understand.
The year before last, there was a hurricane in Jiangdu, which incidentally affected Chiyu and brought disaster to Dongou.
Two to three hundred thousand refugees from Dongou Kingdom poured into the territory of the Han Dynasty to take refuge.
The landlord of Wu Chu really had a full meal at once!
They only used a very cheap price, that is, a little grain, to obtain a large amount of cheap labor.
And the common people in Wu Chu also benefited a lot.
At the very least, many of them solved their wife problems.
Later, in Dongou, these landowners had another delicious meal.
Frankly speaking, Dongou has a good environment, with a well-developed water network and dense rivers, making it a very suitable area for growing rice.
And the climate is warmer than that of Wu Chu.
After Dongou was annexed, a large number of Wu and Chu landowners went to the area to open up wasteland and buy land.
The local land prices are even ridiculously cheap.
Many landowners were promoted overnight.
In addition, this year Liu Che will move away the local criminal officials and their families, which will free up a lot of land.
The landlord of Wu Chu suddenly entered heaven.
Not only did they get a lot of cheap labor to serve them, they also got more land and wealth, and their lives were getting better day by day.
Moreover, because Wu Chu annexed Dong Ou, even those at the lower levels can benefit from this process.
At the very least, the wife problem is solved.
The tenants and slaves immediately felt at ease and worked hard for the masters.
What about Qilu?
They stood nearby and looked at Wu Chu's colleagues. Their mouths were full of oil and they burped.
At this time, the landowners and nobles in Qilu were really envious and jealous.
This year, the golden wave from Huaihua has spread to Qilu.
Because Qilu has developed transportation and information flows quickly, farmers in Qilu fled one after another.
Especially after Liu Che greeted the Louchuan General Yamen, the Louchuan General Yamen no longer blocked people from boarding the ship, and even organized the people to board the ship in an orderly manner.
Moreover, after the attitude of Louchuan Jiangjun Yamen changed, local fishermen also joined the ranks of fleeing.
A large number of fishermen, with their families and families in tow, rowed their own small sampans and followed the fleet of flat boats along the coastline.
In just two months, the number of people fleeing Qilu quickly rose to tens of thousands.
A large number of landowners were immediately dumbfounded.
Almost all their tenants were gone, and large tracts of land were abandoned.
The imperial court simply ignored their requests and calls, and did not stop the people from fleeing. They even helped and encouraged the people to flee.
At this time, the Qilu landlord looked back at his neighbor.
Immediately he let out a cry of 'fuck!'
In the Wu-Chu area, it is not without tenants and poor people embarking on the road to Huaihua.
But the number is very small and almost negligible.
The local social order is stable, and the people are working obediently in the fields for the landlords.
Then I go home and look at my wife and children and giggle.
He who has perseverance has perseverance.
But those with families are more perseverant.
For farmers, if there is an old man at the top, a young man at the bottom, and a hard-working and kind-hearted wife.
As long as life is manageable, I won't run away at all.
The problem with Qilu is that they exploit their tenants too hard.
It’s so cruel that many people have no money to marry a wife even when they are seventeen, eighteen or even twenty years old.
Most of the tenants who fled were bachelors or singles from a single family.
A person can just pack up his baggage and run away, and the landlord won't even notice.
What's more, basically every landlord in Wu Chu now has a few Dongou people.
Many of them were originally slaves or tenants in Dongou.
Life is much harder than in China.
Many people don't even have a full stomach at all.
As soon as I arrived in Wuchu, I discovered that you can actually have a full stomach here?! You can also eat some meat every now and then, and you can have salt in every meal!
It’s heaven!
Work for the landlords, not to mention working too hard.
This made Wu Chu's landlords feel a little embarrassed.
The landowners in Qilu were dumbfounded and dumbfounded when they saw this.
I am afraid of contrast in everything, especially when the contrast is so strong.
Then, the landowner in Qilu began to think about it.
If only we could find such a good opportunity!
So, they focused on South Vietnam.
Of course, it is not yet certain whether this is the case.
After all, what Xiuyiwei reported was just some of the things they saw.
Liu Che only made up this possibility based on the report of Xiuyiwei.
But one thing is certain: the landowners in Qilu are having a very difficult time now.
And they are unwilling to compromise and give benefits to the lower class people.
If they want to make up for the losses caused by the exodus, they can only find a scapegoat.
Perhaps, this matter is planned by the kings of Qilu and the scholar-bureaucrats and nobles.
It may also be that when this happened, they suddenly woke up to something, so they simply used chicken feathers as arrows to start a war.
This kind of thing is not unusual.
A hundred years ago, the Qin court's bureaucrats and envoys used this method to threaten and intimidate other countries everywhere.
As the saying goes, 'getting an inch is also a king's inch; getting a ruler is also a king's ruler'.
The imperialist fan was so domineering that all the countries in the east succumbed to the blackmail of the Qin people.
Qi, Lu, Wu and Chu were the strongholds of Confucianism.
But there is nothing shameful in learning the techniques of Legalism.
Not to mention that behind this, there may be a few dark hands of Legalists working in tandem.
only……
Liu Che always felt that Confucianism seemed to have picked up the wrong script this time, right?
Do you really not talk about benevolence, justice, morality and integrity?
But it seems...
"Confucianism has had no sense of shame since the day it was born..." Liu Che muttered in his heart.
In fact, a truly mature political thought and school of thought would have no sense of shame.
If you haven’t lost all your moral integrity and can still have a bottom line, it’s already pretty good!
But, should we seize this opportunity and solve the South Vietnam problem?
Looking at the map, Liu Che knew very well that the South Vietnam and Fujian-Vietnam issues had always been political issues, not military issues.
To be fair, if the current situation continues, it won't take more than ten years for South Vietnam and Fujian to return.
This is not wishful thinking or whimsy.
It is an inevitable trend of world development and history.
Of course, this does not mean that as long as you sit on the ground, you can wait for the South Vietnamese and Minyue people to cry and beg for inwardness.
This is also impossible.
China's unification has been achieved through fists since ancient times.
Even, in many cases, there are many shortcomings and deep-rooted troubles in unification without first explaining the truth with fists.
A very straightforward example is the unification of Qin before Liu Che's eyes.
Qin unified the world, although there were endless wars in the world and the people longed for unification.
But if the people of Qin don't work hard, the conflicts among the countries will continue forever.
Even if they are barely unified together, they will feel uncomfortable in various ways.
For example, the old aristocrats, inherent interest groups, and privileged classes of the six countries will make the unified dynasty exhausted.
But after the Qin and Han dynasties used their fists to educate the world's nobles and interest groups, the unified central dynasty established its authority.
Whoever dares to stab him will be killed!
What's more, South Vietnam and Fujian have been separated for a long time. The local Vietnamese and aristocrats still have to rely on sticks and swords to integrate and influence the identity and centripetal force towards China.
"Politics and military must work together..." Liu Che made a decision in his heart.
"Send the order to the ship generals." Liu Che turned his head and ordered to the two ministers who had been following him: "Immediately mobilize the ships on the Yangtze River and go to Guangling to wait for orders!"
The Han Dynasty currently has dozens of warships in the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers that are on combat readiness.
These battleships were all retained after the last expedition to Korea and had not been turned into transport ships.
Mobilizing these ships is enough to put pressure on South Vietnam.
But this is not enough.
Things like building boats can only serve as a deterrent and show an attitude.
To really solve the problem, we still have to rely on infantry.
If we want to fight South Vietnam, the northern army is not suitable, and it is difficult for northerners to get used to the scorching heat and humid weather in the south.
At that time, Zhou Zao, the long-term mourning minister, had already told the Han Dynasty with his personal experience that if they wanted to fight South Vietnam, the northern army would not be able to do it!
Later, when Emperor Wu attacked South Vietnam, he learned this lesson and mobilized all southern armies, especially the army of Yelang Kingdom to assist in the attack.
Now that Liu Che does not have the southwestern barbarians to surrender, the Yelang Kingdom's army cannot be mobilized.
But Liu Che can now play the Minyue card.
"Send envoys to Minyue and inform the Minyue monarchs and ministers, ordering them to immediately block the passes bordering South Vietnam and await my order..." Liu Che ordered.
As for whether Minyue will obey orders?
Liu Che doesn’t care!
It is natural for people from Fujian and Yue to obey orders. If he doesn't, just take this opportunity to strike. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
