Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2444 Lower your head and lower your mouth

Jiangdong’s ills have been around for a long time.

This is brought out from the roots of the Sun family

This drama of betrayal is actually not the first time it has been staged.

Because betrayal is the eternal melody of Sun Wu Jiangdong's regime.

Especially after Sun Quan inherited the Sun Group, the word betrayal was engraved in his bones and flowing in his blood.

Sun Quan had an easy time with Cao Cao, and then he fell out with him whenever he wanted to. He also had an easy time with Liu Bei, and stabbed him in the back whenever he wanted to. No matter how many times you make alliances with others, there will be many betrayals. As long as the benefits are in place, you can break the contract anytime and anywhere.

Compared with Liu Bei, Sun Quan did not suffer the pain of being displaced, living under the fence of others, and having no place to stand. Compared with Cao Cao, he did not have the sharp internal contradictions of supporting the Han and the political struggle of either you or me. But under the Sun family Under the rule of the Jiangdong Group, it seems that there has never been a unified mind, no common goals, and only a tradition of betrayal.

In history, in the 13th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan's group, which had occupied Jiangdong for three generations and had used pigs to raise minions for eight years, was actually encouraging Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao. Whether Liu Bei or Cao Cao, when has the scene of ministers pushing the monarch to surrender appeared? Liu Cong has experienced this kind of treatment.

If Lu Su and Zhou Yu hadn't turned the tide, Sun Quan would have been ranked second by Liu Cong.

At that time, Sun Quan really almost changed from Dangru when he gave birth to a son, to Ruoru with dog ears.

In the entire process of Jiangdong, from Sun Jian's first appearance on the stage, to Sun Ce's expansion of territory, to Sun Quan's rise to power, the entire Sun political group's operating model was different from that of Cao Cao and Fei Qian, and also different from that in history. Liu Bei's model is completely different.

Before he took over, more than half of Fei Qian's territory was barren, and the remaining half was in chaos.

In the Bingzhou Shangjun area, there was not much population at all when Fei Qian first arrived, and even the counties were pitifully small. In particular, the Yinshan area in the North has been occupied by the Xianbei for a long time, and there are also small gangs like the Baibo horse thieves who are running around and committing crimes. We need population but not population, we need economy but not economy, we need plowing but not plowing fields.

In terms of population, luckily, well, or in Fei Qian's plan, Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital brought a large number of refugees from Heluo. Later, during the Guanzhong turmoil, another batch was added, which allowed Fei Qian to have The foundation to stand on.

In the initial accumulation process of the economy, it was through the information gap that Dong Zhuo issued a large amount of bad money, and a large amount of materials from the local powerful households were obtained from the Shangdang and Taiyuan areas in Hedong, just like when the big brother in the north fell in later generations, the light came in. The difference in price can make you rich.

As for farming, it was thanks to the Southern Huns. If Fei Qian hadn't deceived Yuvluo and asked him to send a large number of livestock to help plow the fields, Fei Qian would definitely not be able to quickly restore Shangjun and Pingyang just by relying on Fei Qian's manpower. The yield per acre in the area cannot support the subsequent large-scale immigration of the floating population.

As for the later Chang'an Sanfu area, it was a different operating model.

It can be said that these methods of Fei Qian can only be effective at that time and place. Even if someone wants to imitate them, it is basically impossible to do so. This is also the reason why Fei Qian has been criticized and reviled in private by the nobles of the Han Dynasty, but he still has to admit the achievements of Hussar in many public occasions.

There is nothing to say, it cannot be done by another person, by another time, or by another place. This is the ability of Husband. If you want to criticize Husband, you can only criticize Husband's new policy, his cruelty, greed, etc., but you can't deny it. In this series of processes, the Hussar was responsible for the recovery of the Han territory and the restoration of order.

As for Cao Cao's territory, half of it was conquered by himself, and the other half was given by others. If there were no Yuan Shao in the early stage and Xun Yu in the mid-term, Cao Cao would have to learn from Liu Paopao.

Cao Cao was a villain first and then a gentleman.

In the early stage of Cao Cao's military campaign, the small shareholders had hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If they had three to five thousand, they would be considered major shareholders. If they directly controlled tens of thousands of people, they could become CEO without hesitation.

Cao Cao had little capital in the early days. Later, he took over the Qingzhou soldiers, which was equivalent to bringing a large amount of capital into the shares. The CEO controlled the majority of the shares. Naturally, he had the final say in the company and had absolute decision-making power. But even so, he still There are also small shareholders who make irresponsible remarks and even try to usurp power from time to time. How can we tolerate this?

So now Cao Cao warmly invites the wives of small shareholders to visit Yecheng, and says that he will never choose friends based on how much money his friends have.

As for Liu Bei's team in history, there were not many people who rebelled in the early days before Liu Bei took over Jingzhou. After all, the company was repeatedly on the verge of bankruptcy, and it's not something that even a big-hearted person can tolerate. At the same time, the boss is a habitual offender who is always ready to leave his wife and run away. It is only natural for his employees to choose to change jobs when they can no longer work. Later in history, after Liu Bei moved into Jingzhou and acquired Sichuan and Shu, most of the middle and high-level employees were old employees who stayed in the most difficult times. Unless there were extremely rare circumstances, they would not rebel in good times.

Finally, there are the three members of the Sun family. The Sun family did not really take over Jiangdong at the beginning. At most, it could only be regarded as having its own territory in Jiangdong. In the early and middle period, Sun Jian went to Guanxi in the northwest, accumulated some primitive wealth, and then moved to Jiangdong. Sun Ce relied on his ruthlessness and lack of words, fell out with Yuan Shu, and snatched a piece of land from the powerful hands in Huaiyang.

Except for the self-reliant Feiqian Northern Region, in the environment of the Han Dynasty, because local tycoons had become a climate and their strength was very strong, most of the princes ruled their territories through cooperation with the tycoons. To put it simply, , the wealthy families are shareholders, or investors, and this is true for a series of princes such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Bei, etc.

Sun Ce may not have never thought about cooperating with the wealthy families. After all, he also has the Zhou family, the Wu family, the Zhang family, the Zhu family and other powerful people who have defected to him. However, after Sun Ce became CEO, he did not continue to cooperate with the Jiangdong wealthy families. Let's discuss it carefully, instead brandishing a big knife, less bickering, if you want, just do it together, if not, just die!

When Sun Quan came to power, he didn't have as big a stick as Sun Ce, so the major shareholders who had to invest in Sun Jian and Sun Ce due to the power of the two guys before him must be thinking about looking for the Sun family. Those who came to settle things properly all focused on Sun Quan’s anus.

Before Sun Ce's death, the Sun family occupied five counties. However, after Sun Ce's death, three of the counties rebelled.

Sun Quan, or Mrs. Wu, borrowed a big stick at the critical moment

It's you again, Dudu.

Then wielding the borrowed big stick, Sun started negotiations with other shareholders.

Either everyone makes some concessions and eats together, or else they break up and start a melee with all three parties staring at each other! Everyone is having a hard time!

So Jiang Dongzhong looked around, stuffed the big murderous knife back into his sleeve, put on a smiling face, and took out a small table knife for cutting meat.

The advantage of Sun Quan doing this at that time was that Sun's Import and Export Co., Ltd. could quickly restore order, and the CEO was still Sun's, but the disadvantage was that these Jiangdong shareholders were only temporarily suppressed and still had great influence in private. And there is still the risk that if shareholders are dissatisfied, they will use their capital to make a fuss with the board of directors at any time and vote to change the CEO.

This is the reason why Sun Quan has always wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, but the Jiangdong nobles have always been holding back Sun Quan. If they can't hold back Sun Quan, they have to hold off Sun Quan's clothes. After all, if Sun Quan wins the Northern Expedition, then the benefits and prestige gained will be It's all Sun Quan's, it's all Sun Quan's credit, and it's Sun Quan who has the final say when it comes to dividing the meat. But if they lose, all they will lose are the real gold and silver coffins in the hands of Jiangdong's shareholders.

Now, Liu Bei, who talked about his ideals and was in a long-term start-up period, has temporarily left the whirlpool of battles in China and found a blue ocean in a new way.

Cao Cao, who has invested an absolute controlling share of the company personally, is planning how to convince the large and small shareholders of the board of directors and launch a third round of investment in order to better integrate assets and make money by listing them on the market.

Cash is King, Fei Qian, who is ahead in technology, continues to dig deep trenches, build technical barriers, and prepares to build a majestic palace among the big men.

Therefore, at this time, no one had time to pay attention to Sun Quan, and no one would send troops to Jiangdong.

This is naturally the best time and the best node planned by Sun Quan. After returning from the victory, he will seize the scattered military and political power in one fell swoop, just like gathering the gods that Sun had lost before. Sex is the same, rekindling the divine fire and ascending to the throne of God.

In Sun Quan's strategic plan, if he wants to develop Jiangdong and eventually defeat Cao Cao and Fei Qian, he must first remove the two huge rocks blocking the throne!

Sun Quan thought about it silently for a long time.

I also endured it for a long time.

He is indeed very tolerant

But no one likes to endure it all the time.

Sun Quan had been waiting for this day for a long time. He was looking forward to being able to feel proud and proud. He originally planned to move away the two stones in one breath, one with the name "World Military System" and the other with the name "Clan System", and then block people and kill people. Kill Buddha!

Sun Quan has had enough of the shortcomings of the world army system. He can't wait to change the world army system to a recruitment system. Like a hussar general, the soldiers are all recruited by the Sun family. They receive the soldiers' pay and obey the Sun family. Sun Quan's dispatch.

In addition, Sun Quan felt that the clans in Jiangdong were too heavy, which seriously hindered the development of Jiangdong.

Jiangdong is so big, but its development is very slow. Jiangdong is indeed large enough. After all, Sun Quan's Jiangdong Yangzhou included the area of ​​the five later provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian. However, under Sun Quan's rule, there were only more than 60 counties! And overall, because of the small county model and the clan power economy outside the county, Jiangdong's productivity has never been able to increase!

This low productivity made Sun Quan, who was always paying attention to Guanzhong, feel a huge psychological gap.

There are also the different thoughts of the large and small shareholders. For Sun Quan, the Shanyue rebellion at every turn made him crazy.

Sun Quan has strengthened management and repairs in many places, such as dividing different generals' defense areas, adding sand to the generals' troops, etc. However, such behavior will in turn lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of the army and bring about overall defense up and down the river. The system is difficult to form.

Therefore, after the Battle of Qingxu, Sun Quan had had enough. He didn't want to endure it at all. He needed to vent, and he wanted to explode.

Just when Sun Quan was arresting so-called rebels, the rebellion really came.

Lingyang County rebels!

Spring Valley County mutiny!

Changxian County rebels!

The counties near Danyang County rebelled one after another, either killing the envoys sent to these counties to collect grain and grass, or arresting these envoys and imprisoning them, or directly closing the city gates and refusing to allow them to enter. Suddenly, the entire The turmoil in Danyang County even began to affect surrounding counties.

It is said that Lujiang County and Poyang County also have such symptoms.

Sun Quan sat on the throne, his face as sinking as water. Although Sun Quan was not angry at the moment, there was a faint burning of fire in his eyes.

Below him sat the important officials from Jiangdong according to their order. Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others were sitting in one place, while Gu Yong, Lu Xun and others were sitting on the other side. Almost all those with sufficient status are here. These officials all had serious expressions on their faces. They sat upright and said nothing. They seemed to be competing with Sun Quan in a game of whoever made a small move first would lose first.

The subordinates of these big bosses were the ministers directly under Sun Quan, Ji Yan Lu Yi and others. Ji Yan, Lu Yi, and others were all dusty, as if they had just rushed back from somewhere, and there were traces of dust washed away by sweat on their faces.

Those sitting at the bottom were naturally not able to observe the expressions of the big guys above them, so they had no choice but to look at each other. It seems that countless contents have been exchanged between each other's glances, and the subtleties in their expressions are like writing exquisite articles.

There was a strange dull atmosphere in the festival hall, as quiet as a tomb.

At present, five or six counties have announced their resistance to the rebellion, saying that Sun Quan does not care about the life and death of the people in Jiangdong, and they no longer respect Sun Quan as their leader!

In addition, even more shocking bad news came almost at the same time. Fei Zhan, the largest Shanyue leader in Danyang, raised the flag of rebellion! Known as one hundred thousand soldiers! He claims to have been canonized by the court as the governor of Qichun, and has already conquered three counties!

You know, this is Danyang soldier.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many people went to Danyang to recruit soldiers, which clearly shows the quality of soldiers here. Among these recruited soldiers, many were from Shanyue in Danyang. Then, this Fei Zhan was the Shanyue leader who was born in Danyang.

If it were normal times, would Shanyue rebel? Jiangdong said that he has become accustomed to it, just like the national football team of later generations, who loses from time to time. These Shanyue rebelled and made a fuss for a few days. Maybe the Shanyue would disperse on their own without Sun Quan sending troops. Then the soldiers from the counties and counties would not be able to chase and fight. At most, they would go to the edge of the mountains and forests to see if there are any unlucky ones. , or massacre a mountain village or something along the way, and then come back to report the great victory.

But this time, Sun Quan knew, and others also knew, that this time Shanyue Feizhan's rebellion was different.

The refusal of these counties in Danyang County is not a big deal individually. After all, it was mostly caused by the requisition of grain and grass. As long as Sun Quan issued an order stating that the previous incident was caused by villains such as Ji Yan Lu Yi, he would then remove several I made a sign to stop the levy of grain and grass, and let go of the blame for these county magistrates or local large households, and I can almost cope with it again.

But coupled with the fee stack, it's another story.

Everyone here knows what Jiangdong's armaments are like, and they also understand how bad the current situation is. Although Sun Quan said he had returned with a great victory, he had not yet paid the rewards to the soldiers and generals under his command, nor had he paid the pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle between Qing and Xu. The arrows consumed, the damaged weapons, etc. had all been repaid. no supplement

There is not even enough food and fodder to send out troops again!

Under such circumstances, if Sun Quan forcibly sends troops, if there is a slight fluctuation, it will not only be Fei Zhan's fault, but there will be stories of defection before the battle begins!

Sun Quan could be said to be responsible for the Shanyue rebellion at other times, but this time, everyone knows that it was Sun Quan himself who caused it!

If Sun Quan is willing to make peace, give up the interests he already holds, and share some meat for everyone to eat, then everyone will still be good friends, the kind of friends who can drink, eat meat and laugh together.

As a result, Sun Quan came forcefully and started messing around with a big stick, which triggered a chain reaction. The soldiers in the counties and counties that were supposed to be in Jingping were now basically useless, allowing Shanyue Feizhan to take advantage of the situation!

No matter from which perspective, Sun Quan cannot shirk this responsibility.

Within a few days, news came back one after another. Three counties in Danyang fell one after another. The soldiers who were supposed to be guarding them have lost contact with each other and they don't know where they are. In addition, refugees from various disasters have also come to Wu County. They say that thieves are rampant, and police have been sent to every county. , begging Sun Quan to quickly send troops and horses to extinguish the rebel army.

Every time bad news came, Sun Quan's expression became more dejected!

At this point, Sun Quan must give an explanation to the people of Jiangdong!

Look how many bowls of rice noodles there are in Sun Quan’s belly!

Although Sun Quan still had the spirit of staying calm in times of crisis, he did not become hysterical because of this. At the same time, he ordered his own soldiers, Sun family veterans, etc. to take over the defense of Wu County and stabilize the situation in Wu County. , on the other hand, he ordered Jian Yan, Lu Yi, Qin Bo and others to come back

In fact, this current situation is not without any room for maneuver. As long as Sun Quan lowers his face and expresses his reconciliation with the Jiangdong nobles, and then goes down and licks several Jiangdong bosses to make them comfortable, then naturally everything will be easy to talk about when he is satisfied.

But this solution will make Sun Quan very uncomfortable!

Isn't this just slap after slap on the face of the Lord of Jiangdong?

If he bows in such humiliation this time, Sun Quan will become the laughing stock of others in the six counties of Jiangdong from now on!

Isn't it true that the reform that Sun Quan had longed for, and the plan to put the Sun family on the throne of God, seemed to come to nothing?

But without winning over these Jiangdong bosses, how would Sun Quan have enough money and food for his soldiers?

There are only a few soldiers available in Jiangdong at the moment. These soldiers and horses that were mobilized previously worked hard to return to their home territory. After months of expeditions, some of them died or were injured. It is said that their vitality will not be seriously damaged or anything. But if they are to be mobilized again, let’s not say whether these people are willing or not. , the money for food, food and soldiers must be provided first, and where does this money come from?

Even if Sun Quan sells iron to get the money and grain, when these troops are ready again and rush to Danyang, I am afraid that Danyang will be in a state of decay by then, and it is impossible to say that it has spread to other counties. By then, only Wu County will be left. What's the use? !

Looking around, those who can come in handy in time and recover lost states and counties as quickly as possible are the Jiangdong bosses in front of Sun Quan.

And Sun Quan, can he lower his head like this and stop talking like this?
