Chapter 118 Suzhou, Sizhou
The problems of Suzhou and Xuzhou can be said to be the path of sustainable development that the Chu State explored under specific historical conditions to adapt to the new situation of struggle, and can be summarized as "Huaibei characteristics". ?? To use a trendy phrase to describe it, it is to adapt measures to local conditions and people-oriented creatively solve the problems left over from history.
Three years ago, Guo Wei rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and after killing Liu Chengyou, he coaxed Liu Chong's stupid boy Wu Ningjun to go north, in a vain attempt to remove the threat of the feudal town of Wuning to Bianjing without blood, no one expected that Liu Yun was leaving, but his generals surrendered to Chu with Xuzhou and Suzhou. Guo Wei was furious, so he made a poisonous move, and asked the army to pretend to be horse thieves and plunder in the Xuzhou area, making the people's livelihood miserable.
Unexpectedly, the country of Chu is full of talents, and it turned disadvantages into advantages and passivity into initiative. With Ma Yun's edict, more than 200,000 people in Suzhou and Xuzhou became construction workers overnight, digging channels, repairing roads, and receiving grain and copper coins according to the amount of work. There is a salary for work, and the land tax is light, and the only bad thing is that you have to join the township soldiers and participate in training regularly. But these are worlds apart from the heavily taxed Central Plains, so the people of Suzhou and Xuzhou soon became of the same heart and mind as the Chu State, and the horse thieves gradually couldn't get along in Xuzhou.
But after Suzhou was conquered by the Great Zhou, the situation suddenly changed. The work still has to be done, the grain is transported, the city is built, not only the types have not decreased, but also increased a lot, but the work is not paid, according to the explanation of the Great Zhou, this belongs to the conscription, that is, purely for the construction of the Great Zhou feudalism to make a contribution. This work is still necessary, you have to do it, and if you don't do it, you will do it with a whip. In addition, the tax paid for farming has doubled. At this moment, inside and outside Suzhou, there were many complaints. Missing the state of Chu, from words to deeds, it is getting more and more serious, many people secretly went to Xuzhou, even if they don't farm, working in Xuzhou is enough to support themselves, and as long as they hold the title deed of Chu Guokan, when Chu recovers Suzhou, it should be my land, or mine.
As soon as the people ran like this, the history of Suzhou Assassin couldn't stand it, and sent troops to block the road, arrest the fleeing people, and arrest hundreds of people a day.
Although Ding Kezhong's words are unknown, he is still secretive. But Guo Rong still guessed the reason, he helplessly waved his hand to let Dink retreat, the spirit in his eyes decreased, and he replaced it with a worried look, facing other ministers, he may still hide his inner thoughts, but in the face of Wang Pu, a mentor and friend, he will always reveal his truest thoughts.
There is no doubt that the rebellion in Suzhou dealt a blow to Guo Rongting. Chu and Zhou are opposed, Chu will not take the initiative to surrender, this world will inevitably be fought down piece by piece, if you want to Suzhou like this, fight it today, and you can't hold it tomorrow, this... Can this still be won in the long run?
"Your Majesty, the people know that the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step. Just after the war, stabilizing the world is the first step, and then attacking the weak with the strong, strengthening yourself, and slowly reversing the unfavorable situation is the royal road. The matter of Suzhou is nothing more than unclear rights and responsibilities, improper employment, and the Chu people fanning and spreading rumors in the meantime, which led to frequent riots. This matter, to put it bluntly, is the responsibility of the assassin, he doesn't understand the situation, and he does things too much. This is a lesson, however, it is not a big deal, Suzhou and Sizhou were originally the territory of the Chu State, and they were given it. Wang Pu said bluntly.
"After losing Suzhou and Sizhou, the four states of Chu and Huaibei are connected again, and the threat to Bianjing will become more and more serious in the future." Guo Rong doesn't want Wang Pu to be so atmospheric, Suzhou obviously still occupies a place in his heart, and it is also a place to fight. The reason is very simple, what shows Guo Rong's martial arts is not only the Battle of Bianjing, Zhang Yongde's recovery of Suzhou, conquering Sizhou, crossing the Huai River in the south, and invading Chuzhou, Shouzhou and other places are also a strong stroke. Now, this achievement has been lost, which makes Guo Rong feel better.
It's all about people. Just now, I pointed out the country and was full of energy, and in two minutes, a basin of cold water was handed over, and people would feel unbearable. Seeing Guo Rongyi's unhappy and uncertain appearance, Wang Pu said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the world is like a chess piece, in Suzhou, we are actually an outcast for Da Zhou." Suzhou is lost, I think it's a good thing, not a bad thing. ”
"This... Where do you start? Guo Rong asked.
"Your Majesty, Suzhou is Haizhou to the east, Xuzhou to the north, Huaihe River to the south, Sizhou to the southwest, and Songzhou to the northwest. Just look at this terrain, this Suzhou is facing the enemy on three sides, the terrain is flat, are there any mountains and rivers, this position seems to be very important, but once a war starts, how can you hold it? It's too late to rescue, rather than being ambushed by the state of Chu again to lure the main force of our army, it's better to give it up. What's more, even if it is defended today, but this Suzhou is next to Huainan, and the Chu army can be killed, if the Chu army often harasses Suzhou, whether we save it or not, if our army rescues, but the enemy retreats, this will not be the enemy's tired strategy. Through Suzhou, we can't hit the Chu State, but give the Chu State a chance to weaken our army, and if you lose it, you will lose it. Wang Pu said.
"Hey... Guo Rong sighed, thought about it carefully, suddenly came back to his senses, and asked, "Wang Aiqing, do you have any good strategy to hit the Chu State?" ”
"Hehe, if Ma Yun comes to the country again, can Your Majesty stop the Chu State?" Wang Pu asked.
"If it's just a country of Chu, I'm not afraid of him." Guo Rong said casually.
"This point, presumably the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State also know, so they will definitely lobby the Khitan to go south. If we can get married to the Khitan first, wouldn't we have broken the arm of the Chu State? ”
"There has always been a gap between the Khitan and the Central Plains, I'm afraid they won't easily tie up with us, okay?" Guo Rong said uncertainly.
"Your Majesty, haven't you heard of Song Qiqiu's divisive plan?" Wang Pu said with a smile.
Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the old things more than ten years ago. When the Khitan reigned in the world, the Central Plains Emperor Shi Jingjiao called the minister and called the son, Yelude Guangzhi was complacent, so he sent people south to Jinling, wanting Li Yu to also bow down to the minister, at that time Li Tang's prime minister Song Qiqiu, he thought of a crooked idea, they respectfully welcomed the Khitan envoy to Jinling, and sent a large number of gold and silver jewelry, expressing admiration and respect for the Khitan, and so the Khitan envoy happily left Huainan, not far from the Central Plains, and was killed by the assassins of the Song Qiqiu faction. Because this incident was born in the Great Jin Dynasty, although there were many doubts, he successfully transferred Yelu Deguang's attention to the Central Plains, and the trust between the Great Jin and the Khitan gradually decreased, and there were more and more contradictions, and finally turned his face into an enemy, while Li Tang continued to be at ease in Jiangnan.
Wang Pu gave such an example, and the meaning of it is clear.
