Today's "discussion" is actually just a formality.
The main purpose is to bring Yang Wo out to show himself and let everyone know that he is still alive.
Being alive means that Xu Wen and Zhang Hao did not kill them all, which can dispel the desperate thoughts of some veteran secretaries. After the appearance, Yang Wo was placed under house arrest again. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao each sent their reliable confidants to jointly guard and isolate themselves from the outside world. From then on, Yang Wo was placed under house arrest.
From now on, he will be just a rubber stamp.
On August 25, the left and right Yaqin troops launched a large-scale manhunt in the city and arrested dozens of Yang Wo's cronies.
These are either Yang Wo's old people when he was in Xuanzhou, or they are newly promoted after succeeding to the throne. They are what the veteran officials call "the lucky ones". They may not all be incompetent, but at this time, they have no resistance.
With their abilities, they killed them one by one. Fan Sicong and Chen Fan who were rushing to Guangling were also killed at the inn.
It can also be seen from this that Yang Wo was not completely unprepared after he succeeded to the throne.
In fact, he promoted many of his confidants who were left behind in Xuanzhou, and brought 3,000 troops to Guangling, which caused conflicts with those who came to replace him.
But the problem is that the soldiers he led in Xuanzhou looked down upon him and felt that he was incompetent and incompetent. After Xu Wen and Zhang Hao launched the rebellion, these people basically stood aside and did not take any action.
Yang Wo never gained military morale, which was the biggest reason for his failure.
On August 27, Yang Wo's biological mother, Mrs. Shi, came forward and said, "Xu Wen and Zhang Hao have done a great job in eliminating those who disrupted the government." As soon as these words came out, the situation became more stable.
By the end of August and the beginning of September, the envoys who went to various yamen armies to express their condolences returned one after another, mostly bringing good news. The yamen army and the town army remained motionless, neither supporting nor opposing. To Xu Wen,
For Zhang Hao, this is the greatest support. Now only the generals from other states are left to express their stance.
On the third day of September, news of what happened in Guangling quickly spread to Luoyang.
This intelligence is of the highest level, and the 700-mile expedited relay system is used for the first time in many years. At this moment, people and horses are "livestock", and no matter what the cost, the news must be sent back as soon as possible.
After Shao Shude got the news, he immediately ordered the Xuzhou camp to be set up with great fanfare, without any need to hide it.
Shao Chengjie, King of Qin, led an army of 60,000 men, including Longxiang, Golden Sword, and Silver Spear, to sail southward. He led more than 100,000 troops, including Tiancheng, Kelan, Luoyan, and Guangjie, to attack Huainan.
Xu Wen and Zhang Hao certainly could not make all Huainan soldiers surrender.
If they were given a few years, with Xu Wen's ability, they might be able to do it, but Shao Shude couldn't wait any longer.
He only needs Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's rebellion to cause chaos in Huainan, which can reduce the casualties of the southern expedition army, while reducing the intensity of the war as much as possible, allowing Huainan and Xuanshe towns to retain more vitality.
As for those who refuse to surrender, there is no other way but to use force to deal with it - Xu Wen and Zhang Hao may be able to force Yang Wo to issue an order to surrender, but whether they will accept it or not is another matter.
Shao Shude predicted that there must be such people, not just one or two.
As a military and political group, Huainan is far from decadent, and can even be said to be at its peak. There will be many battles, but this is also the last battle in traditional Han Dynasty.
After fighting this battle, sorting it out and calming down, the rest will be digested by time.
Anyway, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao's rebellion was a serious blow to the Huainan Group. Even if there is a rebellion in the future, its intensity will be much smaller.
On the fifth day of September, the night before Qin King Shao Chengjie left, Shao Shude called him to the Yongshou Hall of Shangyang Palace.
******
Also coming together are Seventh Lang Shenli, Nineth Lang Xingben, Tenth Lang Zhiyuan, Eleventh Lang Zhigu, Twelveth Lang Zhuang Jing, and Thirteenth Lang Jizhi. They will participate in the study together with the King of Qin.
The study materials will be compiled into a volume and distributed to each son to read.
Some trends have existed for a long time, and everyone knows about them. But when a landmark event occurs, people will still be shocked and take various measures in response to it.
"A few years before Xingmi's death, he had been conquering and refusing to obey.
Zhou An Renyi was killed one after another, and all the elite soldiers from various states gathered in Guangling and were organized into Yamen and various departments of the army." Shao Shude walked around the palace, looked at his sons sitting respectfully below, and said: "
To be honest, Huainan is actually a bit similar to the imperial dynasty. The Guangling armies are Yang Wo's imperial army, and the left and right tooth armies controlled by Xu Wen and Zhang Hao are equivalent to the palace guards and Yin Anzhi. I will only talk about it here. Let's do the following.
Question.
Wang Yanfan handed out the papers one after another.
Shao Shude watched quietly. He came up with the question himself, with a few "hypotheses."
The first hypothesis is that a certain dynasty made Luoyang its capital, with 150,000 imperial troops, controlling the entire old Henan Road and part of Guanxi. The population in the north was nearly 20 million, the economy was acceptable, the living conditions of the warriors were good, and the local feudal towns were very domineering - Shao Shude
I specially added a concept that the princes have learned here, and the domineering index is 100%.
There are also vassal towns such as Weibo, Chengde, Youzhou, Hedong, Hezhong, Fengxiang, and Lingxia in the surrounding area. There are also vassal towns in the south and Shuzhong. Some of these vassal towns submitted to the imperial court, some remained neutral, and some opposed the imperial court.
This is generally the situation faced by the rear beam.
The second hypothesis is that after decades of war, the population of the north is only 10 million, and the economy has collapsed. The warriors have changed one after another, and they are almost too poor to eat. They begin to reflect on their own actions and the people's hearts.
Sitting - Domineering index 50%. Most of the feudal towns have been leveled, most of the elite soldiers have been incorporated into the Central Forbidden Army, and the property of the feudal towns has also been transferred to the central government. The so-called Jiedushi is just in name. At this time, the Forbidden Army is an absolute force.
, the feudal town did not have the strength to rebel.
This is generally the situation in the following week.
After receiving the test papers, the princes began to answer questions. Shao Shude drank tea and seemed to be in a trance.
Today's exam is actually mainly prepared for the King of Qin. The questions are not easy to answer, and they also test your level.
Half an hour later, the second pot of tea was served. Erlang was the first to finish answering and handed over the test paper.
Shao Shude immediately sat down and took it over to examine it carefully. After a while, he raised his head and asked: "Erlang, why do you think there is only a 30% chance?"
"I feel that I don't have enough life left." Shao Chengjie said: "If you succeed to the throne in your twenties or thirties without any meritorious service, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army may not accept it. They will be waiting for death. There is no way that things like Xu Wen and Zhang Hao will happen.
"If you succeed to the throne at the age of forty or fifty, you may have a chance, but if you delay it a little, your life span will not be enough."
Shao Chengjie knows everything about the army and knows how difficult it is to gain military morale. It's fine if you build an army from scratch, but if you inherit it, you have to put in several times the effort, and the effect may not be good.
If you inherit the throne in your twenties or thirties, it does not mean that there will be rebellion, but most of the imperial troops cannot command them. Just like Luo Shaowei and Wang Rong, they can guard the home, but it is extremely difficult to go on an expedition. And once the military power is handed over to outsiders, there will be rebellion.
The possibility is simply a dead end.
If you are in your forties or fifties, this will be too difficult.
After my father proclaimed himself emperor, it took him several years to unify the Northern Territory, and Hedong was still peaceful. If Hedong persisted in fighting, it is very likely that he would not have won it yet.
A person in his fifties no longer has so many ambitions. His mentality will become conservative and he will be more worried about his children after his death.
Whether the son can take over smoothly, the generals will be purged at this time. And as soon as the purge begins, it will lead to a decrease in the morale of the army and a decrease in combat effectiveness. It is simply a vicious circle and a dead end. Like my father, who is not yet in his fifties
There are really not many people who worry about what will happen after their death.
"Then where do you think the situation may be broken? It's not clear here, let's expand on it." Shao Shude asked.
"Have more children and see if you are lucky enough to produce a capable one." Shao Chengjie said: "Before that, we should make many marriages to stabilize those feudal towns, and then look for opportunities to slowly bring peace.
Shao Shude smiled and said: "What you said is right, but not entirely. But I am still very happy because you know where the boundary is and you don't just rely on brute force to force it. Sometimes manpower is poor, and people must recognize themselves.
ability to recognize where the country’s limits are.”
"You will not understand these things unless you have experienced in the army." Shao Chengjie said: "In the past, during the battle with Pang Shigu Yingshui, I was supplying military supplies in Ruzhou. A battle would consume hundreds of thousands of arrows and kill many people.
Thousands of people,
If you stay in the palace all day without touching the spring water, it will be easy for you to be careless and careless. You don't understand."
"Haha!" Shao Shude didn't pay attention to the swear words blurted out by his son. Instead, he smiled and said: "This is what I am most satisfied with today. People need to have a sense of boundaries. It's good that you have this concept in your mind. However, you mentioned in your answer sheet
If you arrive, you can use a surprise attack and make a desperate move. This is still a matter of luck."
"Following the steps won't work. Lifespan is not enough." Shao Chengjie argued.
"But didn't you mention raising a son?" Shao Shude asked.
Shao Chengjie sighed and said, "The lesson is right, sir." "Let's go back to what we just said." Shao Shude said, "It is right to marry the feudal towns, but we cannot just use force to seek peace. We can unite the feudal towns to fight against the feudal towns, and fight several more times.
The vassal town that was beaten will be exhausted, and the vassal town that beat people will be slowly emptied out, and it will be much easier to clean up. However, there will also be alliances between the vassal towns, which will lead to the death of rabbits and the sorrow of foxes. The specific operation is very complicated, so I will not expand on it.
said."
"What I want to tell you is that this strategy can also be used in other areas, such as the court. Without force, it will not work. Otherwise, we will lose military morale, and things like Xu Wen and Zhang Hao will happen, but force alone will not work.
No, the national strength is not enough and the life span is not enough, you all know this."
"You know these truths, but you still use force as your first choice. This is called path dependence. You are still young and have never suffered a loss, so you think this approach makes sense. Oh, I wish I had known where you would stumble.
. Without unforgettable pain, there will be no lasting memory."
Shao Chengjie was ashamed.
"My father has helped you to kill all the vassals that are difficult to defeat. Look at who you are defeating? Jiannan, Hunan, Bohai..." Shao Shude sighed and said: "Back then, my grandfather and Zhu Quanzhong
After seven or eight years of fierce fighting, I was exhausted physically and mentally. I often doubted whether I could win, and even violently wanted to kill people. I wanted to kill all the die-hard elements I met in the towns of Yun, Yan, Qi, and Hebei.
If there is no golden immortal..."
Shao Shude coughed and said: "In short, the vassal town you fought is really nothing. Those bullshit Bohai soldiers were already in trouble if they asked Zhu Jin to charge. Remember, you must have a sense of boundaries and know your own
Where is the limit?" "The child is taught." Shao Chengjie said.
"Well, there are some things that cannot be taught by teaching. Only when you understand them yourself can you remember them better. Besides, you also understand these principles..." Shao Shude sighed: "As long as you have a sense of boundaries, even if you have path dependence,
But if you know the limit, nothing big will happen. Let’s talk about the answer sheet. In the second case, you think you are 70% sure that it can be unified. So what is the other 30%?”
"There are stupid people like Yang Wo, or simply orphans and widowers." Shao Chengjie said: "The domineering index is 50%, which does not mean that he is no longer domineering, but he is more obedient and easier to manage than before. But if it is Yang Wo
If such a person is in power and encounters an invasion from a foreign enemy, and he is unable to conquer it himself, he will have no choice but to hand over the army to the general. If the general is deliberately shameless, he may rebel as soon as he leaves the capital.
"Is there any example?" Shao Shude asked.
"Qingzhou King Shifan. After his father Wang Jingwu died, the young man succeeded to the throne. Zhang Chan, the governor of Dizhou, refused to accept it. Lu Hong, the head of the Normal Order, led an army to attack. As a result, as soon as Lu Hong left Qingzhou, he returned to the army and threatened Wang Shifan." Shao Chengjie said.
"Not bad." Shao Shude nodded. Fortunately, you didn't use Zhao Kuangyin as an example, otherwise...
The ending of Qingzhou Wang Normal University is good.
The king was a little cautious. When Lu Hong led his army into Qingzhou, he pretended to be pitiful and sent envoys to give him gifts. He also said that he was young and incompetent and should not be an envoy. Then he mentioned that Lu Hong had received great favor from his father. If
It is Lu Hong's kindness that can keep him alive and make his ancestors have no shortage of sacrifices, and everyone will praise him.
Wang Shifan spoke sincerely, and being a young man, Lu Hong lost his vigilance and was beheaded at the wine table while the messenger was delivering gifts. Wang Shifan then rushed to the army overnight, inspected the troops, rewarded the three armies, and resolved the crisis.
Of course, Wang Shifan's success was also due to his opponent's support. Lu Hong was too careless, otherwise it would have been another outcome.
"So, what have you learned from these?" Shao Shude asked.
"It's best to gain the morale of the army. That way you can safely hand over the troops to the general to lead them out."
Go to conquer, just like my father did." Shao Chengjie said: "If you can't win the military morale, then you must have the ability to conquer personally, and it is best to win. It is very dangerous to leave the imperial army to a general to take him on an expedition.
"Let's summarize what we just said." Shao Shude said.
"First, you must be brave, know military strategies, be able to personally conquer, and win the hearts and minds of the army. Second, you must keep the army in your hands at all times and not easily hand it over to outsiders. Third, you must have a sense of boundaries and know where the limits are.
", don't do it randomly. Fourth, don't act recklessly, sometimes there are other solutions." Shao Chengjie said.
"That's almost it." Shao Shude stood up, patted his son on the shoulder with satisfaction, and sighed: "I really want to see you suffer a loss for doing this recklessly.
Shao Chengjie was speechless.
"Let's go, grandpa will give you a walk." Shao Shude said.
Seeing their father and second brother leaving, the other princes were stunned.
Have you not read our exam papers? This exam is prepared for the second brother alone, right? We are all accompanying the exam? With the second brother looking like this, is the position of the crown prince secure?
