Chapter 3 Liang Zheng, a scholar

"Uncle Shi has come up with a strategy, and the younger generation thinks it's better to use the current politics as the point of solving the problem." Liang Zheng bowed and said, "For example, although the country is still in chaos at present, the younger generation thinks that if the clues are cleared, it will not be difficult to solve." ”

Wu Dalie's eyes shrank: "It's not difficult to solve?" How many books have you read before you dare to speak out?! ”

"No, no, no, Uncle Shi, listen to what I have to say." Liang Zheng hurriedly said.

"You say!" Wu Dalie shouted in a deep voice, "It's not good, but you have to be careful." ”

"Yes." Liang Zheng said, "In fact, my policy can be summed up in three points: first, the outside must first be inside; Second, enough food and then foot soldiers; Third, only by protecting the people can we. ”

“…… Go on. Wu Dalie involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

Liang Zheng: "And today's general trend, the beacon fire appears outside the shoulders and arms, and it is very urgent to take advantage of it; The rogue is in the heart, and it is very deep. Although the external troubles cannot be alleviated, the internal worries are poisonous. Therefore, because he first negotiated peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, stabilized the situation in Beijing, and concentrated on exterminating the Central Plains Liukou in one go. ”

That is to say, the current Ming Dynasty is like a patient, and Jingshi is the "heart" of this person, and the border towns are "shoulders, arms and limbs", he has pain in his limbs and heart disease, so what should I do? Naturally, heart disease is cured first.

"Don't cede land, don't call ministers, don't pay tribute, don't negotiate peace, don't pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in the community" This is of course very good, in fact, the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty has always been tough, but it is very easy to break, and it is the eternal truth of diplomacy to adapt to the conditions of the time.

Now there are internal and external troubles, and if we don't negotiate peace, we will use troops at both ends...... How powerful was the Third Reich, and didn't it die on this one in the end?

Besides, negotiating peace is only a temporary compromise, and when the internal troubles are resolved, isn't it the same to free up your hands and then clean up Huang Taiji?

Back then, Tang Taizong also discussed peace with Jili Khan, but in the end, he worked hard, what was the end? The invincible Gilly Khan eventually became a prisoner himself.

However, now that the Donglin Party of the imperial court is strong, blindly paying attention to the literati's temperament, there are many hard-necked people, and few are willing to be flexible, so it is not easy to achieve this.

Wu Dalie: "What about the second?" ”

Liang Zheng: "As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the war has begun. So why worry about theft and uncertainty, and the interior is not clear? ”

The Ming Dynasty since the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang tax is very low, the two ends of the army, plus years of natural disasters, disaster relief, military salaries this all need money, no money, the soldiers are naturally not willing to fight for the imperial court, in this case, simply make peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the troops are concentrated in the Central Plains to suppress bandits, food and salary only need to take care of one end, less than a piece of expenditure, more money, naturally the soldiers are willing to fight desperately.

Wu Dalie: "...... And what about the third point? ”

Liang Zheng: "The reason why it is difficult to suppress the rogues is because they are carried into trouble, and they have become a stubborn disease, so that the more they are suppressed, the more prosperous they become; Therefore, the battle against bandits, because it is mainly based on the people, is used to suppress and appease, and the net is spread on all sides. ”

In ancient times, the core of the rogue rebellion was all thugs, these core thugs had no settlement, no food, they needed supplies, not only food, finance, materials but also soldiers!

What do they do? Their method is to bring a large number of people in poor areas to burn the rich areas, so that the people in the rich areas will also be ruined.

And the imperial court has no money to appease and no way to provide disaster relief, which will make them feel that the imperial court has abandoned them, and this disapproval will slowly spread to disapproval of the imperial court, so they also rebel.

But these people just rebelled for a while, and their determination was not firm, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, with deep roots, and has been recognized by the world.

Therefore, the first thing to suppress bandits is to strengthen the city defense, first ensure that the rogues will not destroy other cities, so that the residents of other cities can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will feel that the imperial court has not given up on them, and naturally they will not follow the rogues to make trouble.

This is "only by protecting the people can we".

In addition, the bandits should not follow the butts of those rogues to chase them, but should mobilize the army, lock up the rogues in a few places, and then gradually close the net, then the rogues will be gone.

This is the "ten-sided net".

In this way, there is no way for the rogues to rush into the city, the supplies cannot be replenished, and the sources of troops cannot be replenished, which is equivalent to breaking the foundation.

As for the policy of suppressing and appeasing at the same time, "suppression" refers to severely cracking down on the bandit leaders and rebels -- that is, the core thugs, and "appeasement" refers to the appeasement of the displaced people who are carried around, so that those who are not determined to be resolute will "go anyway", and the remaining few bandit leaders will be easy to deal with.

Wu Dalie was completely silent when he heard this.

As a nephew of his own life, he is uninhibited on weekdays, and he didn't expect to have this kind of insight, so he thought so deeply and saw so far.

What he and his teacher couldn't figure out, he actually put it out in an article in a clear and coherent manner?

It's just that Liang Zheng doesn't know the other party's thoughts.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, this majestic "uncle" was still staring at him for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Because in fact, this "Three Strategies for Pingkou" and Wu Dalie's title - "No king, no Kou, the wise man becomes benevolent", is actually off topic.

"No king, no Kou, the wise man becomes benevolent" He didn't know how to solve the problem at all, but he heard one of the words "Kou", so he came up with an idea.

And these three points did not come up with it on his own.

This kind of strategy is summed up by later generations, and in the era of developed network information in later generations, this kind of information will naturally be checked a lot.

Liang Zheng also watched some of them when he was usually surfing the Internet, so he had an impression.

However, if this kind of answer is not right, will he be replaced by a board, but he has no confidence at all.

…………

………

……

Silent!

In the silent silence, Wu Dalie just stared at Liang Zheng's face with a rather flat and barely emotional expression, as if he wanted to stare at his bone marrow. And let the awkward silence spread indefinitely between the two people......

One minute......

Two minutes......

Three-minute ......

Finally, Wu Dalie's lips that were tightly pursed into the word "one" opened a slight gap: "That's all for today's class exam, you have to work hard when you go back, you know?" ”

Liang Zheng let out a long sigh of relief: "It seems that I have passed the test." ”

It's just that he would never have thought that his own policy would finally appear on Yang Sichang's desk.

"Hmm...... If you go outside, you must first settle inside...... Ten sides of the net ......! ”

Although it was late at night, Yang Sichang looked at the articles sent by his student Wu Dalie quickly and hurriedly, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

On the contrary, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.

Why didn't you think of it?

He involuntarily glanced at the signature under the case file, and his eyes lit up:

Liang Zheng......

This man is kind of interesting.

With Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei as the four positives, the four governors are divided into suppression, and the special defense of Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan is the six corners, and the six governors are divided into defense and assist in suppression, and the governor and the prime minister follow the thief's direction and specialize in the collection! ! !

"In this way, 'four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net', why worry about the bandits, and the unrest?!"

Thinking of the highlights, Yang Sichang couldn't help but stand up and paced in the study.

"I said the old man......" Yang's wife supported her hazy sleepy eyes, barely got up in her clothes, and persuaded gently, "It's so late at night, why don't you rest?" ”

"Rest? Where can I still sleep! Yang Sichang's face was flushed with excitement.

"What, sir, what happened to you?" Seeing the excitement on her husband's old face, Yang's wife couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's not just a good thing to describe, it's just an enlightenment, and you can see the sun!" Yang Sichang waved his fists, even more excited than beating chicken blood.

It's just that this inexplicable remark made Yang's wife hear it in a fog, and she really couldn't figure out what happened to her husband, who had been frowning these days.

However, after decades of husband and wife, she knows her pillow person too well, and knows that the other party must have solved an unresolved matter to be like this, and she is really happy for him.

It's just that......

"Knock-knock-knock-"

On the street outside the house, the faint sound of bangzi revealed the fact that it had been nearly three watches.

"No matter how great a good thing is, it is also a matter of the body." Yang's wife yawned, "Go to bed early, you have to go to court early tomorrow." ”

"Early Dynasty?" Yang Sichang laughed and shook his head, "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to enter the palace immediately!" ”

"Huh?"

……

"History of the Ming Dynasty" volume 252, biography 140 - "The Biography of Yang Sichang" records:

…… After the death of Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, the emperor looked around the courtiers and saw that there was no one who could hold this position, so he used Yang Sichang, who lived at home...... The emperor asked him about his countermeasures, and Yang Sichang played against the emperor with the theory of "four positive and six corners", and was determined to reform, and the emperor thought that he was even more talented. Each answer must be more than an hour, and Yang Sichang's report request did not disagree, and even exclaimed: "It's a pity that I didn't use Aiqing earlier." ”
