Three Kingdoms

The sunset in Sichuan is also extremely beautiful, especially when the sunset gradually sets on the top of the mountains, it looks even more dazzling, as if the sunset has accumulated a lot of big moves, and then at the end It was like it was displayed in a moment.

As night falls, the city of Chengdu gradually lights up. Especially in the military camp outside the city, there are many tents stretching all the way to the canal outside the city. The torches and bonfires in the camp seemed to pull the stars in the sky to the ground. The swaying firelight and the swaying figures under the three-color flags reminded every Sichuan and Shu people that this place was already... Under the rule of Zhengxi...

After all, Sichuan and Sichuan are more southerly, so after a heavy snowfall, it did not continue to snow. At the same time, as Sichuan and Sichuan were generally calmed down, the trade routes became smoother, which also brought some information and intelligence that had been accumulated, allowing Fei Qian was somewhat surprised.

Xu Shu sat silently on the side of the table, drinking hot tea, waiting for Fei Qian to read the latest information.

Xu Shu just came from Guanghan yesterday. On the one hand, the affairs in northern Sichuan are almost settled. On the other hand, the New Deal is about to be extended to all parts of Sichuan and Shu. The road ahead is long and long, so he must follow Fei Qian for a while and borrow some help. The momentum of General Zhengxi promoted the Jue Tian system that was originally operating in Guanzhong.

Among the new pieces of information, the most significant is naturally the more detailed information about Sun Ce's assassination.

Sun Ce, a guy who only thinks about simplicity and hates tedious things, was finally plotted. This is not a too surprising thing. After all, according to Sun Ce's character, such a thing will happen sooner or later, but then... Some detailed information came, but it revealed a corner of the shady story, making Fei Qian feel a bit chilly.

The person who did it was a person from Jiangdong, but the person behind it was not just Jiangdong.

This made Fei Qian somewhat unbelievable. In addition, the Huang family's strong crossbow that appeared at the scene also made Fei Qian feel a little malicious...

"From these circumstances, we can't escape the involvement of those involved in the assassination..." Fei Qian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "How did this Huang family crossbow end up in Jiangdong... If we say Without Liu Jingsheng’s instructions from behind, I wouldn’t have believed it would have gone so smoothly..."

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Liu Jingzhou came here to frame the fault, and secondly, he also wanted to get rid of his henchmen. After all, Sun Bofu has always wanted to attack Jingxiang and has never forgotten it... In addition, it is said that the assassin was a member of the Chen family in Xiapi. Summoned by Lujiang..."

"Xia Pi Chen family?" Fei Qian said with a smile, "Among the Xia Pi Chen family, some of them are Cao Mengde's handiwork, right?"

Xu Shu said: "I think so too... But, I didn't find any evidence..."

"Evidence?" Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Cao Mengde is in a critical moment now, and he definitely can't bear to be attacked by the Sun family, so... besides, there is no need for evidence for this kind of thing... "

In fact, the problems Sun Ce faced were similar to those of Yuan Shao, but the problem was that Sun Ce did not have Yuan Shao's reputation and background, so the noble families in Jiangdong did not support Sun Ce as much as Jizhou did.

Sun Ce led the troops to attack Jiangdong Wujun, Jianye, and even Lujiang, which generally belonged to the Jiangdong area. The Jiangdong gentry were more willing to support it, because the Jiangdong gentry had been squeezed out by the northern gentry. Just like the gentry of the Jingxiang generation, they married each other and became a general interest group. Therefore, Sun Ce wanted to complete the process from dispersion to unification for them. The interest groups of these Jiangdong gentry did not object, and were even a little happy. , after all, some of them have wanted to do this for a long time.

However, as Jiangdong was generally unified and Sun Ce began to prepare to march north, the people in Jiangdong were less willing...

The reason is very simple. Does Sun Ce have the majestic appearance of Xiang Yu?

There is no need to exist.

So why can Sun Ce be able to do what Xiang Yu failed to do back then? What's more, when Xiang Yu marched north, Jingzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou and other areas basically waited for the wind and only had to deal with the pre-Qin Dynasty. But when Sun Ce marched north, even if he killed Liu Biao, would he still fight Cao Cao?

After defeating Cao Cao, do you still want to fight Yuan Shao?

Now that you've fucked Yuan Shao, are you going to fight Zheng Xi next?

If so, when will it be the end?

Therefore, the Jiangdong nobles gave up and felt that it was not worthwhile. They believed that the best strategy Sun Ce should take at the moment was to stabilize in Jiangdong, and then watch the north fight for life and death first, and then decide whether to join when the last one or the last two were left. Still attached...

But with Sun Ce's bad temper, why would he want to sit back and wait?

So, naturally, the conversation broke down, and then Sun Ce began to think about catching another monkey, but this time, the monkey showed its fangs. In addition, if Sun Ce goes north, there are only three routes, one is to attack Jingzhou, one is to attack Yuzhou, and the other is to attack Xuzhou, and these three states and counties are not good choices.

As for Sun Ce, of course the first choice is to attack Jingzhou, but the problem is that the Jingzhou navy and the Jiangdong navy are almost the same. If you attack by force, you will basically kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, which is not very cost-effective. In addition, Sun Ce and There is hatred in Jingzhou, but there is no hatred between the Jiangdong gentry and Jingzhou. On the contrary, many people are married, and some of them even came to Pang De Gong to learn scriptures before. If they start a fight, it will be difficult to face, so Jiangdong Strongly opposed and unwilling to support.

So what about Yuzhou and Xuzhou? In comparison, Xuzhou is naturally weaker. If you go up from the Lujiang River, you can attack Xiapi. After such news came out, the Chen family in Xiapi became anxious...

So, after Sun Ce said carelessly that he would prepare to march north after the new year, and faced opposition, he still persisted, and even threatened to kill a Jiangdong monkey to sacrifice the flag. After the communication failed, a group led by the Chen family of Xiapi, Cao Cao was behind the fire. , Liu Biao instructed to provide powerful crossbows, and the situation was formed where the Jiangdong nobles turned a blind eye.

"Sun Bofu..." Fei Qian gently knocked on the table and said, "Just seriously injured? No news of death yet?"

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Severely injured, not dead. But even if it is recuperated, it will probably take years..."

Fei Qian pondered for a moment, shook his head slowly and said, "No, I'm afraid Sun Boxu... has no chance of recovery..."

"My lord's intention is..." Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "It is indeed true. If you don't kill a tiger, you will suffer from it..."

"If you want to take something, you must give it first..." Fei Qian shook his head and said, "Sun Bofu brought the blame on himself this time, no one else is to blame..." How could a noble family bow to you with just two words, and then willingly accept the gift? With all the property in your possession, despite being beaten, scolded and driven by your lord, you still have no regrets?

Greed, laziness, slander, and human nature are not much different in ancient and modern times.

As early as when he entered Guanzhong, Fei Qian had already had a profound communication with Li Ru, and he was more and more impressed by the current gentry families. Whether they were Sichuan or Jiangdong families, they actually had one thing in common. , it is the interests, the interests of the family.

Why did Fei's potential to Sichuan and Sichuan not encounter much resistance?

That's because the Sichuan and Shu gentry basically believe that under the rule of General Zhengxi, the overall advantages outweigh the disadvantages! Therefore, these guys are basically cooperative, especially after Fei Qian revealed the news about an iron mine, they almost immediately focused all their attention on the profits of the new mine, coupled with the continuous trade Going deeper, it seems that for the big families in Sichuan and Sichuan, the new Tianzheng and the pain of population census are not unacceptable...

"The jue land system must be implemented..." Fei Qian said, "The jue land system in Guanzhong mostly comes from the Qiang and Xianbei people in the right and north of Longxi. So if you want to implement jue land in Southwest Sichuan and Shu, you must have a goal..."

Xu Shu nodded, then stroked his beard, indicating that he was clear about this matter, "It is better to use the Guanzhong method, first open up new fields and grant them to the meritorious soldiers who entered Sichuan, then conquer the surrounding areas, allocate some acres of land to the Sichuan and Shu surnames, and then collect the illegal Disciple..."

Nowadays, the army is basically still in Sichuan, and the army was greatly expanded during the war. At this time, on the one hand, the elites were selected, on the other hand, the concentrated manpower was allowed to cultivate new fields, and then the newly cultivated fields were delivered to As rewards for meritorious generals and soldiers in Sichuan and Shu, the big families in Sichuan and Shu naturally have no objections.

So the juetian system took a small step forward.

Fei Qian is not sure whether the iron ore in Dazeo can be successfully mass-produced or when it will be fully produced. But at least one thing is certain, as soon as the southwest trade route is opened, in addition to the land of Dazeo, there will be The spices, rice, etc. in Jiaonan can definitely find new targets for these big families in Sichuan and Shu, and the rewards for these targets will naturally still be Jue Tian.

Sichuan and Shu are naturally like the gentry in Guanzhong, and they happily accept these jue fields, and the jue field system that follows has gained a firm foothold. The next step is to raise a fat pig, kill one, and then raise another One head...

The biggest drawback of the feudal dynasty was land, and land had extremely poor circulation in the feudal era. The new dynasty had a large amount of land in its hands. During the process of enfeoffment, the world naturally became peaceful. However, as the land in the hands of the imperial court became less and less, As local forces become stronger and stronger, there are fewer and fewer farmers, and there are more and more large landowners, conflicts and unrest are inevitable.

Although the imperial court has the power to raid and execute certain gentry families and then redistribute the land, such power will become increasingly powerless under the premise of gentry marriages and huge local power. It is not uncommon to even be forced by local gentry. Therefore, Basically, the original land policy and circulation would eventually be stuck in the hands of the noble surnames. The court could not effectively recover land resources, and it could not truly circulate the land.

However, the Jue Tian system allows land to circulate among the privileged class to a certain extent, just like commodities. If it is not circulated, it will lead to a backlog of products and eventually the company will go bankrupt. As long as it is circulated, the entire company can maintain operations.

"In addition, when awarding Jue Tian, ​​you must pay attention to staggering the time..." Fei Qian reminded Xu Shu, "It's okay to have scattered soldiers and acres of land. The number of noble surnames is huge. Don't grant too many at once, lest the end be lost..." Jue Tian Naturally, everyone is happy when it is awarded, but of course they are not happy when it is taken back. If the time is staggered, there will be room for various breakthroughs. After all, the Jue Tian that this family wants to take back may be prepared to be awarded to the next one. If they belong to the same family, then it is impossible for these noble surnames to form a completely consistent synergy.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.

Of course, the feudal system based on martial arts can easily lead to the imperial system, and when the empire becomes a huge fat man, it will also face the end of collapse. However, the improvement of central technology has Fei Qian himself doesn't know how long this process can be delayed...

On the whole, the four parties are constantly seizing resources from the outside, and then the central government uses these resources to climb technology, which in turn suppresses and feeds back the local areas. Just like a famous saying in later generations, as long as you eat fast enough, the calories cannot catch up. , and once you sit still and eat, you are basically waiting to die...

"My lord, let's choose tomorrow...who will be in charge of the affairs of Da Ze?" Xu Shu asked.

Fei Qian smiled slightly and asked, "What do Yuan Zhi think?"

Xu Shu stroked his beard and said calmly: "Why choose? Just divide the troops into two groups..."

Fei Qian burst out laughing, nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Evaluating this matter and saying which one is good is just a matter of a superior's tongue-lashing, isn't it? As the saying goes, if you say you can do it, you can do it or not; if you say you can’t, you can’t do it or not...

What I said before is to let everyone go back and write strategies. In fact, one is a delaying strategy. Fei Qian also needs to wait for the surrounding area to stabilize, and Xu Shu gathers the troops. Secondly, it also allows this matter to ferment, so that more Sichuan and Shu people know about it and invest in it. When it comes to this matter, the third aspect is to use this matter to artificially cut the original Sichuan and Shu officials into two parts. One part is the newly promoted pro-Zhengxi faction. These people are not qualified to participate in this matter, while the other faction has not been promoted. , or in other words, the Sichuan and Sichuan surnames, which have not improved much, will not immediately feel the huge pain of loss if they have this sweet spot...

"Wu and Liu led the Danyang troops along the way, marched west from Chengdu, and went down the Jinhe River..." Xu Shu did not wait for Fei Qian to ask and answer, and directly stated his thoughts, "The other way Then the pretended governor of Jianning, Li Li, led troops from Sichuan to build Ning to the west..."

Fei Qian nodded and said, "It's just what I want." It's not a good thing to let Zhang Fei sit idle all the time. Let him go to the mountains to toss. After all, if Wu Yi and Liu Bei are grouped together, then this road will The general who can take advantage of this must be Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei is more brave in martial arts, Li Hui heard that someone has sneaked into the mountain. Therefore, the two aspects can be regarded as a tie. It depends on the subsequent development.

"By the way, these guys from Sichuan and Sichuan have given away a lot of goods, as well as a lot of singers and dancers..." Fei Qian suddenly thought of another thing, and tapped the table gently and said, "Zhang and Xu took some soldiers and armor, but they didn't take any money or singers. As for Shu Ye, all the money he took was transferred to me... Wen Chang, he doesn't refuse anyone who comes... Yuan Zhi, what do you think, Wen Zhang?" Is there any sense of self-destruction in this...?"
