Chapter 128: MLM leader Liu Xuandes method of establishing a foothold in Shu Han!
Also "bewitched" by Liu Bei was the Confucian general Zhao Yun, who was quite like the MLM leader of later generations. Even if he had nothing at the moment, he could win the support and loyalty of die-hard people around him!
According to the "Yun Bie Zhuan" annotated in "Three Kingdoms·Zhao Yun Zhuan": "At that time, the late lord also relied on Zan, and every time he accepted Yun, Yun Deshen formed a trust on his own. Yun said that his brother had died, so he resigned from Zan and returned temporarily. The former lord knew that he was gone. On the contrary, they held hands and said goodbye, saying: "You will never betray your virtue." The first master went to Yuan Shao, and Yun saw him in Ye."
Judging from Zhao Yun's actions throughout his life, he always upheld the concept of loyalty. Therefore, when Liu Bei proposed his wish to him, Zhao Yun was so moved that he risked his life to accompany him. However, as a hero of his generation, Liu Bei naturally had ambitions.
Zhao Yun insisted on the ideals of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Bei became increasingly disliked by him, and even sent him to garrison in Jiangzhou. On the other hand, Zhuge Liang was the one who understood Liu Bei's thoughts best. Because both of them had this ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty, As a "cover".
The most interesting thing is the "family relationship". When faced with powerful generals, Liu Bei would usually eat and live with them and treat them like brothers. Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei have all received this "honor". And when Even if they are not brothers, Liu Bei can always make the other person his "eldest brother-in-law".
Yes, one of Liu Bei's trump cards to win over the nobles was marriage. When Liu Bei first entered the Central Plains, he came under the command of Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian. There was Cao Cao outside Xuzhou, Yuan Shao and others coveted it, and there were dissatisfied wealthy nobles inside, so Tao Qian Accepting Liu Bei was based on the latter's military strength.
But as soon as Liu Bei arrived in Xuzhou, he immediately established relationships with the local wealthy families. Chen Deng, a celebrity in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu, the richest man, had a close eye on Liu Bei.
Especially Mi Zhu, in order to promote Liu Bei to the throne, he not only married his sister to him, but also donated most of his family wealth to Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei's later ability to become the shepherd of Xuzhou was inseparable from the support of Mi Zhu and other Xuzhou wealthy families. .
Within a few years after the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan also married his sister to Liu Bei.
On the one hand, the alliance between the Sun and Liu families needs to be maintained;
On the other hand, Sun Quan also planned to let his sister spy on Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's method of marriage can not only win over the gentry group, but also make his allies feel more at ease. Moreover, this method has been tried and tested repeatedly. Liu Bei entered Shu with the support of the Dongzhou gentry. Among them, the elders of the Dongzhou gentry The character Wu Yi contributed a lot. Because in Yizhou at that time, Wu's voice was quite powerful.
So Liu Bei later married Wu Yi's clan sister Wu as his wife. After Liu Bei became emperor, Wu also became the queen. Interestingly, this Wu family was still a widow, and Liu Bei was quite distressed for a time. But reality told him He must marry the Wu family in order to gain the support of the Yizhou gentry.
In the "Three Kingdoms·The First Master", hundreds of officials persuaded Liu Bei to join the Hanzhong King, leaving such a list. The first few in order are: Ma Chao, Xu Jing, Pang Xi, Sheyuan, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Lai Gong, Fazheng, Li Yan...
It can be seen from the list that except for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong, the others are either from Jingzhou or belong to the Dongzhou gentry. Even Ma Chao comes from a wealthy family.
Therefore, the interests of the Shu Han regime, except for Liu Bei and the descendants of the Liu family at the top, are mostly prepared for the gentry group. Otherwise, Liu Bei would not be able to successfully establish the huge Shu Han regime.
Due to Liu Bei's rich experience, the factions of the Shu Han regime have developed in a diversified manner. Leaving aside Liu Bei's direct descendants, the Shu Kingdom is divided by region and should be divided into the Jingzhou Gentlemen Group, the Dongzhou Gentlemen Group and the Yi Group.
State gentry group.
Let’s talk about the Yizhou gentry group first, which actually refers to the indigenous scholars of Yizhou. Before Liu Yan, Liu Zhang and his son entered Shu, these people had already developed and had a good reputation in Yizhou.
Next is the Dongzhou gentry group. In fact, during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, there was no place called Dongzhou.
But according to "Huayang Guozhi": "At that time in Nanyang, tens of thousands of families of the three auxiliary people took refuge in Shu. Yan Xun spared them and introduced them to the party and gave them the title of Dongzhou Shi."
The Dongzhou Gentlemen Group is the direct descendant of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son. Most of them come from the nearby Nanyang and Sanfu areas. Finally, there is the Jingzhou Gentlemen Group.
When Liu Bei lived in Jingzhou, many wealthy families came to serve him. Later Liu Bei entered Shu, and these people also followed him to Shu. His representative Zhuge Liang gradually became the second-in-command after Liu Bei.
Here, it is necessary to explain Liu Bei's attitude towards the three major gentry groups. Liu Zhang does not trust the Yizhou gentry group, Liu Bei does not trust, and Zhuge Liang does not trust either. Therefore, since these outsiders entered Yizhou, the interests of these indigenous scholars
It is always compressed.
In addition, the local prophecies in Yizhou are popular, and they always think that Cao Cao will dominate the world. Therefore, during the reign of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, the wealthy families in Yizhou never had a way to get ahead. This can also explain that there are many talents in Bashu, but few people can
Enter the core management of Shuhan.
The Dongzhou Gentlemen Group and the Jingzhou Gentlemen Group are closer to Liu Bei. The former contributed a lot in the Battle of Chengdu and the Battle of Hanzhong, while the latter has been following Liu Bei since he was young, and their ideas are most in line with Liu Bei's thoughts.
.
I believe everyone knows about Baidicheng Tuogu. Before Liu Bei died, he ordered Zhuge Liang to be the leader and Li Yan to be the assistant to help Liu Chan handle government affairs. As mentioned before, Liu Bei and others were extremely distrustful of the Yizhou natives.
Therefore, since the death of Liu Bei, the Kingdom of Shu has entered an era in which two major gentry groups were in power.
Zhuge Liang and Li Yan competed for power, representing two major gentry groups in a secret struggle.
Through Liu Bei's entrustment, Zhuge Liang and Li Yan represented the Jingzhou and Dongzhou scholars respectively, and became the second and third leaders of the Shu Kingdom. Of course, the nominal leader of the Shu Kingdom was still the emperor Liu Chan.
As the number two figure, Zhuge Liang holds the military and political power of Shu. How much power does Zhuge Liang have at this time?
You might as well refer to what Liu Chan said, "Three Kingdoms: Later Master's Biography" annotated "Wei Lue": "Government is in the hands of the Ge family, and sacrifices are done by the few." This means that Liu Chan, in addition to being responsible for sacrifices, leaves other matters to Zhuge Liang.
Deal with it. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor had to take the lead in matters of sacrifice, I'm afraid Liu Chan would really have become an "idler".
Because Zhuge Liang had too much power, the interests of the Dongzhou nobles were compressed, so Li Yan secretly competed with Zhuge Liang. At first, Zhuge Liang did not do anything to Li Yan for the sake of stability. But as Li Yan's actions became more and more
He went too far and even tampered with the issue of military rations. Zhuge Liang couldn't bear it and finally dismissed Li Yan.
A large part of the reason why Li Yan wanted to challenge Zhuge Liang was because he represented the interests of the Dongzhou gentry. So Li Yan stood in this position, and he had to fight.
It's just that his methods were a bit radical, which gave Zhuge Liang something to talk about, and he was deposed as a commoner. But this also shows that there is a lot of friction between the Dongzhou gentry and the Jingzhou gentry...
Nowadays, Liu Bei relied heavily on the changes in the world, and suppressing the gentry group was also an excellent means for Sima Yi to rise in Yizhou. After all, his Sima family and these gentry were both from aristocratic families, so they naturally felt a little more close to each other and were more able to
