Chapter 16: The Joke of History

Jia Xu slurped his teeth, patted his belly, and spread out with satisfaction, "It's better for you, look at this beef can't be eaten......" picked up another piece of beef and wanted to put it in his mouth, but as soon as he raised his head and opened his mouth, he had a loud burp, so he had to look pity and reluctantly put the meat back on the plate.

Li Ru had already finished eating, and was holding a book of books while sipping tea, and when he heard Jia Xu's words, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, "If you can't finish eating, you can take Wen and you back." ”

"What are you going to do with it? I won't be able to eat it for a while and a half when I bring it back, so if someone sees it, will I share it? Why bother with that - well, you're still in the mood to read - you did it on purpose, right? Jia Xu said casually.

"Hmm." Li Ru agreed with his nose, saying that he did not need to answer such a meaningless question.

Jia Xuba pulled his finger and said: "First ruin Dong Zhongying's reputation, then walk some rumors such as monopolizing power and arbitrarily disrupting politics, then divide and win over the generals under Dong Zhongying, and finally make a high-profile appearance to turn the tide...... I said, is it really okay for you to follow them like this? ”

"What's the problem?" Li Ru lowered his head and looked at the book, and replied very casually, "I also plan to do it according to their routine." ”

Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and said suspiciously: "It's not right...... In this way, the only way you can go is to take the road of domineering...... Why did you give up the royal road? When did you change your mind? ”

Li Ru didn't answer directly, didn't raise his head, and asked casually: "Wen He, you are good at military planning, why don't you try it if I come up with a problem?" ”

"Martial arts battle?" Jia Xu became interested, and even the official words came out, "You draw a line!" ”

"Hehe, Wen He has an army of 10,000 village warriors and mountain bandits...... Well, there is not enough equipment, there are not enough military horses, there is not enough food and grass......"

Listening to Li Ru's shortcomings, Jia Xu's face darkened, "What else do you have to lose?" ”

"No, listen well-Wen and you have ten thousand ......," Li Ru continued lightly.

"A rabble of 10,000...... I see, and then what? Jia Xu really couldn't raise any energy for the "rabble" who had no combat effectiveness, and said half-flatly.

Li Ru continued, "Trapped in a small city, there are about 10,000 reinforcements," ...... glanced at Jia Xu, "...... It's also a rabble......", and instantly saw Jia Xu spread down a little more.

"The opponent is the 400,000 county soldiers from all over the country and the central forbidden army...... The ultimate goal is to win a big victory and defeat the enemy army in one night! ”

Jia Xu opened his mouth and stammered, and after half a sound, he pointed his finger at Li Ru: "You are playing tricks?" How can this formation break the enemy army? "- Li Ru, are you kidding me? 20,000 rabble against 400,000 regular soldiers, can they still be defeated? Even if you line up and don't resist, you will cut people's heads casually, and the knives will be blunt!

The quantity will change qualitatively to a certain extent, not to mention 20,000 against 400,000, even two people against 40 people can only escape, how can they break the enemy army? I also asked that within one night, when every rabble of the rabble could be transformed!

Li Ru handed over the book in his hand and motioned for you to read it yourself.

Jia Xu took it and looked at the logo first, and couldn't help blurting out: "Emperor Guangwu Note? How did you get it? Ah, you robbed Taiku? ”

Li Ru said lightly: "You don't need to rob, just order it to be sent." ”

Jia Xu glanced at ten lines, read it in a blink of an eye, and said in disbelief: "This is simply - it's simply unbelievable, ridiculous!" Look hereβ€”"

Jia Xu pointed to a line in the book, obviously unbelievable by the description in the book. I saw that it was written in the book - "There are meteors falling in the camp at night, and there are clouds like bad mountains during the day, and they fall when the camp falls, and they scatter before the ground, and the officials are tired of crouching." Will future generations see this passage and feel familiar with this description?

Li Ru said: "Then how do you think 20,000 against 400,000 can win overnight?" In the end, only 3,000 of the 400,000 soldiers and horses remained! ”

"Thisβ€”" Jia Xu was also speechless.

Li Ru pointed to the books piled up like a hill beside him, and said: "I have always been puzzled by the inexplicable failure two hundred years ago. Since I read and retrieved these books, the more I read them, the more I feel palpitations, there may be an unknowable side of you and me in this world. ”

Li Ru frowned, tapped his fingers on his head, and said, "The royal road takes a long time!" What should I do if such a situation occurs again during this period? ”

"So you chose the shorter path of domineering? However, in this way, the difficulties to be faced have not increased even a little! ”

"Do you think it's easier to face these difficulties or is it easier to face this situation?" Li Ru pointed to the book in Jia Xu's hand and said.

"Hiss......" Jia Xu also began to have a headache, "Let's choose the road of hegemony - if the records in the book are true, it is really unsolvable......"

Li Ru and Jia Xu's IQ can be said to belong to the top level of contemporary times, so there are more things to consider, such as as Li Ru worried, of course, it is best to take the royal road, because the royal road is almost to force people, step by step, the foundation is stable, even if there is a local failure, it does not matter, the final overall situation will be the general trend, and everyone can not resist, but the only drawback is that it takes too much time to prepare at the beginning, the deeper the root, the faster the final flat push; Hegemony is a way to damage the enemy and feed itself, constantly weaken and encroach on hostile forces, make itself rapidly expand, and suppress it with victory after victory before the contradictions erupt, but if you are not careful when you are moving towards the final success, internal and external contradictions will burst out together, causing yourself to collapse as quickly as ice and snow melt.

Originally, Li Ru helped Dong Zhuo in Xiliang basically follow the line of the king's road, and the Xiliang Corps was built by him to be extremely strong, with a perfect pyramid structure from top to bottom, with the local hardcover soldiers in Xiliang as the main skeleton, plus the surrendered Qiang Hu people as auxiliaries, layer upon layer, each level of Xiliang soldiers died in wartime, and the sergeant of the next level was automatically promoted to replace to ensure that the military order was implemented consistently and had super execution.

However, after arriving in Luoyang, when Li Ru retrieved the books in the Imperial Shaofu Taiku in order to understand his doubts, he found that the longer the time dragged on, the more likely he was to encounter variables, especially when this variable was beyond imagination.

What Li Ru and Jia Xu talked about is one of several mysteries in history, and it is also a variable in the Han Dynasty, an inexplicable turning point, but unfortunately, this great pioneer failed to succeed in the transformation.

This great forerunner was named Wang Mang.

At that time, it was the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and more than 150 years had passed since the founding of the Western Han Dynasty. When Wang Mang was born, his family, the Wang family, was already the premier family of relatives, his aunt was the queen, his uncles took turns to be the big Sima, and the worst mixed in the clan was also the general or the marquis, all of whom were nobles.

At that time, Wang Mang devoted himself to studying, lived a simple life, and was completely different from other Yanai who indulged in lust, arrogance, and lasciviousness, and did all kinds of evil. After the death of his father and brother, he supported his mother and widowed sister-in-law alone, raised his brother's orphans, took care of the elders and uncles of the clan internally, and made friends with celebrities and wise men externally.

Subsequently, when Wang Mang was in his 20s, he was elected to the court as an official because of his reputation for virtuous ability. After becoming an official, Wang Mang did not become arrogant, but became more and more humble and simple, and he was simply an exemplary representative, and he often took out his wealth and property, distributed it to the poor, and gave it to the sages. Therefore, his official position is getting higher and higher, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and the government and the opposition all praise Wang Mang as a model in the world, whether it is the public opinion of Qingliu or the public opinion of the people of Baiding, he has firmly grasped it in his hands.

Such a foundation is stable and solid enough, and the foundation is deep enough, right?

In the first year of A.D., Wang Mang was named the Duke of An Han and held the power alone. He rewarded nobles and officials, supported widows and loneliness, and showed kindness to the common people and scholars, and all social classes were grateful to Dade.

He took the lead in living a simple life, and it is recorded that he donated millions of dollars and 30 percent of his land to help the poor people near Kyoto, and all the officials of the court followed in his footsteps. In the following year, when there was a national drought, Wang Mang led more than 200 officials to donate their land and houses to the victims, and at the same time built free houses so that they could live in peace, and in the Han Dynasty, they achieved rent-free rent!

To do this, the whole world called Wang Mang the saint of the world, bowed and worshipped, and since then all the roads have been opened, and all obstacles have been trampled under his feet.

In the eighth year of A.D., Wang Mang accepted the Zen concession of Emperor Ziying very smoothly, called the emperor, and changed the name of the country to a new one, and the government and the opposition cheered at this, and almost no one objected. It stands to reason that Wang Mang properly implemented the road of kingship, and the foundation is so strong that the people who support it should have a very perfect ending from the government and the opposition to the field, and as a result, history seems to have played a joke......

Wang Mang then introduced a series of new policies, several of which are very interesting:

Is there a familiar feeling of the implementation of land nationalization -- land is no longer privately owned, but all of it is nationalized?

Is there a more familiar feeling to the redistribution of arable land - the confiscation of the land of the big landlords and the distribution of it to the landless peasants as needed?

Freezing the slavery system -- a big stride directly over the feudal serfdom society, this, hehe......

Monetary centralization - the local government no longer has the right to issue currency, and the central government uniformly prints and distributes it......

Government intervention in the economy - the government participates in setting the price of guiding prices, and establishes a monopoly system for state-owned enterprises such as salt and iron......

Well, there are some detailed rules that will not be listed in detail, but as far as the above articles are concerned, is there an unusually cordial feeling after reading them? Imagine that it was at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the Common Era, when Jesus was just a big child......
