No. 246 The general trend of the world
Han Xin's words instantly frightened Wu Yi and the others.
There is one sentence that he is very right.
The reason why the people of Chu obeyed them was because the choice was in the hands of the nobles, and the people had no choice.
And now it's different, the Han army is coming, and the policy of the Han State is very enviable and yearning.
The people didn't have a choice before, but now they have a choice.
Of course, what makes them most desperate is not just whether there is a choice.
As a nobleman, even if it is just a small noble, a nobleman who has been 'abandoned' by the upper class.
Then they are also nobles.
The nobility should have the background, maybe they are not as good as other nobles, but they also have.
Cultural heritage represents not only how many people in the family are literate, but also how many books there are at home, nor how many etiquette rules you know to be considered literate.
Those are just the basics.
What is Heritage?
I can stand higher, see farther, stand at a height you can't stand, see problems that you can't see.
I am more able to increase my strengths, to seek benefits for myself, and to be able to succeed.
That's the bottom line.
Although it is a bit powerful, this set of models is also feasible at the national level, and it is enough to replace the individual with the state.
And the current Han Kingdom, although it has been established for a short time, does not seem to have any background.
But he used the most ordinary way to dig up their foundations.
Wu Yi can see and think.
The Han state's eastward march was not just a military operation.
For each city captured, the granaries were sealed off, the amount of taxes to be paid for the year was counted, and the original amount was refunded, and the taxes were exempted for the next two years.
Plus the refunded, isn't this three years?
There is another point that is not clear from the outside, but these nobles have received some news.
In some places, the granary storage was not enough to be returned, and the lost grain and grass were used to feed the soldiers, and the Han army even took a part of the private granaries of those nobles to return.
The Han army held a big stick high against the nobles, and on the other hand, it was benevolent to the people.
Tax-free for three years?
What does this mean?
It means that when the Han army treats these people of Chu, they give the same treatment as the people of Han, and also make it clear that they will distribute land like the real people of Han in the future, and from then on, they are no longer the people of Chu, but the people who are protected by the Han Dynasty.
You don't have to endure the exploitation of those nobles, and you don't have to worry about when you will starve to death and die in war.
All in all, the Han army played a grand strategy, advancing in an all-round way in terms of military, political, and public opinion.
And people outside can only see that the Han army is like a bamboo, but they don't know the significance of the Han army's tax refund.
And what can the state of Chu take advantage of the most?
It is the trust of the people of Chu State in the country and their sense of belonging to the country.
But now, the Han army is very straightforward to declare a concept to the outside world.
There is no such thing as a national war, what is being fought now is only an internal war.
The Han State did not regard the Chu State as barbarians, but regarded them as the people of Zhuxia who were from the same background as themselves.
Talking about it, in reality, it is operated again, the military side is suppressed, and the three-pronged approach can be said to be that everyone in the Chu State is in danger, except for the nobles, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Han army.
"So, what if we follow the rules of the Han army?" Wu Yi and the others also completely lost their sense of resistance at this time.
It's not that there is no struggle, but there is no way to fight for it at all, and there is no capital and strength.
"It can be treated by a thousand people!" Han Xin glanced at everyone and said slowly.
Some people are satisfied with this treatment, and some people are not satisfied.
But most of them were satisfied, because they didn't have a thousand men under them.
The current Chu army is hundreds of thousands of large and small nobles gathered together.
There is also a group of small nobles below the big nobles, and these in front of them are all scattered or marginal characters.
Even if they stay in the Chu State, it will be difficult for them to have other big opportunities.
Wu Yi was a slightly larger nobleman, he had as many as 3,000 men under his command, and he controlled half of the county himself.
And this time someone needs to stay behind to lead these little nobles, and at the same time be responsible for keeping them from surrendering so quickly.
As a result, I didn't expect that now Wuyi was going to surrender with them.
But this is not to blame Wuyi, who can't beat it?
Of course, for the treatment of thousands of people, Wuyi is not satisfied.
"If I can help the general gather the other Chu troops? What about the occupation of the county seat? Wu Yi asked.
"It depends on how many people are gathered and how many counties are occupied!" Han Xin looked at Wu Yi and said calmly.
Wu Yi thought for a while and said, "For the other 40,000 people, I am fifty percent sure that I will pull them over, as for the city...... Five-seater ......"
"Make sure you are a captain, and the knight is not lower than the eighth rank!" Han Xin smiled slightly.
"I also have some friends in the Chu army, and I can persuade them to surrender to the Han army!" Wu Yi was not angry and continued.
"If it can be done, the Han Kingdom will treat him as a general!" Han Xin also raised the price.
Although there is not much pressure on Han Xin in the future, it can be saved.
If you can rely on Wuyi and these local snakes to help you occupy the city of Surabaya County, then you can spend more time on training.
At the same time, you can also get the weapons sent from the rear as soon as possible.
This is crucial.
Negotiation, in fact, is the same as doing business, it is done in a slow bargaining process.
Just like the current Chu State, there may be life and death, but where did so much life and death come from?
If the current people of Chu really still rely on Chu and have a sense of belonging.
So why did so many generals vote for the Han Kingdom later?
said 1,000 to 10,000, the generals are chasing the leader, and the leader can't do it, so the generals naturally want to leave.
And the pursuit of the common people is much simpler, they just hope that they will not fight every year, but can fill their stomachs every year.
Therefore, the nobles may not get tired of fighting for hundreds of years, because it is not their relatives who die.
Regardless of the situation of the war, they were still able to maintain a noble and quality of life.
And what about ordinary people?
Fighting around, it is their relatives who die, and whether they win or lose, their lives will not change because of this.
Therefore, the bottom of each country is more eager for reunification than the top level.
Therefore, Qin's domination of the world is the general trend.
The current Han Dynasty is like a broken bamboo, and the Chu State is losing and retreating, first, the efforts of the Han monarchs and generals, and second, this is also the general trend of the world.
They have only worked how to compete for hegemony, but they have ignored the most ordinary, the most basic, and the most needed things by the grassroots people.
Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, this is not an empty phrase.
Even now, he is not an empty word.
After reaching an agreement, Wu Yi began to get busy.
On the one hand, he sent people to the military camps in various places to persuade him to surrender, and on the other hand, he sent people to various counties to persuade him to surrender.
The current Wuyi has this qualification, because one of the three gates stationed in Surabaya County has been completely opened.
