In contrast, the Xianbeiization in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was implemented thoroughly, but it also aroused secret dissatisfaction among many Han people. Historically, after Yang Jian came to power, in order to fully gain the support of the Shandong family and the Guanlong family, Yang Jian quickly put this system in place
If it is cancelled, no one will remember that there once was a "Pu Liu Ru".
But Yang Jian obviously cannot be allowed to do this now. Although the Northern Zhou court has already acquiesced, and everyone has restored the Han name in their titles, it cannot be recognized at least on the surface, otherwise it will be equivalent to overthrowing the previous emperors of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The decree is equivalent to a disguised admission that Yang Jian and even Yu Wenyun were not in the right position. Naturally, it is equivalent to losing the moral high ground to Yu Wenxian, so now we can only grit our teeth and acquiesce.
So if Li Xingchen takes this point and directly attacks those Han families who are already wavering, then Yang Jian really can't find any good excuses and can only grit his teeth and acquiesce. After all, in this era, the family's current interests are certainly
is important, but future interests, the moral ethics and bloodline inheritance that have been adhered to for hundreds of years are equally important. Compared to transforming the family into Xianbei or even discarding the original ancestral culture, most families are obviously more inclined to follow the orthodox Han culture
.
This was also one of the reasons why Li Xingchen had the confidence to intervene in affairs in the north.
"Secondly, we need to mobilize local merchants, craftsmen, etc. to make them clearly aware of the gap between the north and the south, and also realize that the south is their real support." Yang Su continued, "We have already done this.
It has been implemented through previous negotiations with Yang Jian."
Having said this, Li Xingchen and Yang Su smiled knowingly. This matter was determined by Li Xingchen and pushed forward by Yang Su. These intentions were all contained in the trade and other conditions signed with Yang Jian, and Bashu's strong industrial and commercial capabilities brought Bashu's wealth to
As it was continuously spread out, it also brought out the strong industrial capabilities and advanced business systems of Bashu and even the entire Han Dynasty, which naturally attracted the attention of the vast number of businesses in the Northern Dynasties.
Even though the businessmen of this era have little status, they are the most widely mobile and intensive group of people in the farming society. And among the movements of these groups, there is also the flow of intelligence. White robes only need to move among the major towns.
By setting up a stronghold in China, we can continuously collect intelligence from all directions through merchants and craftsmen who have a good impression of the Han Dynasty and even have connections with the Han Dynasty.
Merchants can get information about the mobilization of troops and horses and grain and grass from the Northern Dynasty here. After all, these merchants will encounter moving armies and grain and grass convoys more or less when walking on the road. And craftsmen can get the arrangement of troops and horses here. After all, the army will be there every day.
Wherever they go, craftsmen will be summoned to cooperate with the craftsmen accompanying the army to build new weapons for the army, etc., and inadvertently, the information will naturally be leaked out.
In this era where there is no intelligence confidentiality system or even consciousness at all, it is naturally easy to collect intelligence, especially when the spies collecting intelligence are almost pervasive and closely related to society in industry and commerce.
Seizing the big cities and towns first is the preliminary plan of Li Xingchen and Yang Su. Although farmers are the foundation of a country, their mobility is too low, which means they are destined to be unable to become the main source of intelligence, and they have never been able to do so.
The emphasis on industry and commerce was the basis for the Han Dynasty to take control of the north first.
What's more, Chinese farmers, especially farmers in this era, do not have enough self-awareness. In fact, what they pursue is the simplest survival and food and clothing. Although it is very easy to encourage them, it is difficult to achieve great things, at least in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
For a long period of time afterwards, the peasant uprisings did not ultimately replace a dynasty. They could only be said to have disrupted the situation in the world, and the real fishermen were often wealthy families.
Therefore, Li Xingchen did not expect to be able to rely on the farmers in the north.
The businessmen at the bottom, the aristocratic families in the middle, and the attack launched from a higher level, that is, the national level, are the "trio" prepared by Li Xingchen and Yang Su for Yang Jian.
As for how much harm this trio could bring to Yang Jian, Li Xingchen didn't know, but he knew that at least Yang Jian would not feel comfortable, because it was almost putting pressure on Yang Jian from political, economic and military aspects.
Yang Su seemed to see through Li Xingchen's thoughts and turned his eyes back to the map: "Your Majesty, no matter whether this can be effective or not, we must take the first step. The Taiwei Mansion has made preparations, and the only thing left is the household.
Support from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry.”
Li Xingchen nodded slightly, needless to say, the Ministry of Industry, the roar of the war horse, is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Now the Ministry of Industry is anxious to find a place to build a new workshop and expand the sphere of influence of the Ministry of Industry. It almost hit it off with the military, and truly let the military
The most troublesome thing for the generals and even the Taiwei Mansion was the Ministry of Husbandry.
Money, food, and military conquests have been sworn enemies from ancient times to the present. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing. It is difficult to find a check and balance point, especially now that the Han Dynasty's treasury is not rich. If you want to start another war here in Xiangyang, it will be equivalent to spending all the money you have just saved.
His meager family fortune was emptied again. Luo Ya, who was originally Long Yuanrong's household secretary, was not that good-tempered. Let alone Yang Su, I am afraid that even if Xiao Mohe took action personally, he might not be able to get a good look.
In fact, this is also the confrontation between the military and the civil servants that Li Xingchen expected. In the previous Southern Dynasties, all money, food, people, etc. were in the hands of local generals. This would obviously make the local generals have too much power. In the late Southern and Chen Dynasties,
, Wu Mingche, the military commander of Huainan, had actually become an out-and-out King of Huainan and was no longer bound by the Nanchen court. This is why Li Xingchen was able to occupy the entire Huainan without a single blow after receiving the support of Wu Mingche.
Apparently, the Taiwei Mansion had already made plans to attack Nanxiang and other places before, but it hit a wall with the Hubu, so it had no choice but to seek Li Xinchen's help.
"I will discuss this matter with the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, etc." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice. Of course, it is impossible to just agree to the Taiwei Mansion. If the treasury really cannot come up with so much money and food, then what can we do?
Everything is in vain, and Li Xingchen has no ability to convert money and food.
Li Xingchen's words were enough, and Yang Su immediately handed over his hand.
Li Xingchen then said: "Nanxiang can prepare to attack now. Xiangyang had prepared money and food for the Southern Expedition before. The Southern Expedition ended quickly. Only half of the money and food was used, which was enough to take Nanxiang directly. We will take the army here.
Guan and Luoyang are the first places, Bo Qing, I will leave this matter to you."
"No!" Xiao Shilian agreed excitedly.
"You are responsible for the rest, including Li Qing's family and Luo Qing's family."
Li Xun and Luo Yi also hurriedly agreed. This was a hard-won military achievement.
Li Xingchen's eyes immediately looked northwest.
Whether these arrangements here go smoothly or not, ultimately depends on Northwest! (To be continued)
