Chapter 457 - Hire Your Soldiers First, Then Your Country—12
Things are going far worse than what is recorded in history, and Lü Bu is undoubtedly one of the best generals in the world, and if he supports him, then the emperor's power will be infinitely expanded. Alibu also needs to be blessed by the imperial power, otherwise the resentment he gets from Dong Zhuo's side will be revenged by the other princes from all walks of life.
In the entire sphere of influence of the Kwantung princes, there was no one who could protect his wandering strength except for the emperor's interpretation.
In the original history, Cao Cao relied on his soldiers to repel Lu Bu who robbed him of Yanzhou, but this time the situation has changed greatly, the combination of imperial power and Lu Bu is undoubtedly an exciting way, so Lu Bu's value was quickly improved after getting the emperor's support and acquiescence, and even Lu Bu has promised the church to find other hundred officials as much as possible, because he was very familiar with those hundred officials when he was in Luoyang. It can even be said that those hundred officials are all his subordinates, and the emperor needs them, and he is not worried about them, so naturally there is no reason not to find them, no matter how he Lu Bu is not a cowardly person like Cao Cao.
Cao Cao is speechless now, he, a civilized person, was actually given the advantage by Lu Bu, a ruffian.
Therefore, Taobao people chose to ask Yuan Shao for help at the first time, because he realized that it would be difficult to eliminate the negative impact of defeating Lu Bu only militarily from the emperor, and one thing he had to face now was that no matter whether he could win the war against Lu Bu or not, those civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty would most likely regather around the emperor in the near future, because after Lu Bu's voice was issued, they would be clearly aware of the emperor's side, It is still necessary for their group of people to pursue their rights, which is something that everyone will not give up, so they will not care too much about Cao Cao's existence, after all, they have lived under the threat of Dong Zhuo for a long time, how can they worry about a Cao Cao?
However, when the civil and military officials scattered all over the country gathered in Yanzhou, I am afraid it would be three or five months later, and he Cao Cao still had time to win more initiative in these days, and the first thing he had to do was to drive Lu Bu, who attacked Yanzhou, far away, the farther the better.
So he borrowed troops from Yuan Shao for help, but the bad situation was that Yuan Shao was fighting a decisive battle with Gongsun Zan at this time, and there was not enough time to aid Cao Cao and even more unfortunately, the threat from the direction of Qingzhou always existed on the right flank of Jizhou, and he was very dissatisfied with Cao Cao's performance, although this Comrade Cao Mengde had carried out a key attack on the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou in the previous time, but this reduced the pressure on Tian Kai, Because he didn't need to waste time cleaning up this group of Yellow Turban rebels who were accustomed to fighting. You know, nearly ten years have passed since the time of their original uprising, and even a bunch of waste has now been trained into an elite.
In addition, Cao Cao's key strikes in other places also cleaned up the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, especially the Yellow Turban Army in Yuzhou, which would be attacked by him almost every once in a while, which made Yuan Shao very dissatisfied with him, although one of the main purposes of Cao Cao's attack on the Yellow Turban Army was to liberate the population of the Yellow Turban Army and restore agricultural production. However, this sentence does not conform to the original psychological goal, after all, he Yuan occupies the populous Jizhou, and he really can't understand Cao Cao's thoughts, and the two of them have a greater disagreement because of this.
According to their previous brotherhood, Yuan Shao should have set aside some troops to support Cao Cao, even if he did not have such strong combat effectiveness, he should help her line up as much as possible, but the truth was the opposite, just when Yuan Shao was about to send troops to support the Tang Dynasty, his advisor Guo Tu suddenly came to Yuan Shao's side and proposed a very bold plan.
This strategy is once a particularly famous scholar in history, so that the princes are naturally not far away from the actual realization of this strategy, and there is a place called Suning near them, which has put this strategy into practice, for them, it is not too difficult to add a room, so this bold idea of the national football team quickly attracted Yuan Shao's attention, if it can really be like Suning, maybe it can really compete with Suning.
He was in the original history. Yuan Shao should have been worried that he would be bored by the cars of the civil and military officials around Huang Quan, and had to apply for the emperor's approval whenever there was something, so they did not welcome the emperor who returned to the east, and continued to fight in all directions as the first prince in the north, but unfortunately Cao Cao, who had the first imperial power, soon defeated him, the invincible northern prince, with the help of those courtiers who were still loyal to the Han Dynasty.
This is the case, and this should not happen to Gong because he has realized what the emperor's power can bring to him.
Holding the name of righteousness, Suning can mobilize almost all forces in foreign wars, no matter how water signs end, they are still loyal to the emperor. Sun Yulan said that the industrial products of the two systems are very powerful, allowing them to grab huge profits in trade, so that they are very advantageous in terms of the welfare and salary methods of soldiers, in addition, Changhong's industrial production capacity has also brought them advanced weapons, making them almost invincible in foreign wars, but Yuan Shao, a child of the family, of course, knows more that the back of the people's hearts is the most important decisive factor, with the blessing of Phoenix Quan, Suning can let those who support the Han Dynasty as his vanguard in foreign wars, and he can also use the orthodox power of the Han Dynasty to declare his existence in foreign expansion, at least in the process of political and legal Spanish, the prestige of the Han Dynasty is one of its important weapons, even in the Spanish language, this role cannot be ignored.
Although his point of view will definitely not be recognized by Suning, nor will it be recognized by those historians in the Yangzhou system, but he can't stand up to Yuan Shaoai to think whatever he wants, who can say that it is difficult for him to start a war on the Eastern Front now without a word, and directly bring him down, right?
At least in Suning's opinion, now is not the time to clean him up, not to mention that people have not made this point of view public, but only discussed with his henchmen and advisers in their hearts and privately, who can be dissatisfied with their whispers? What's more, this specious understanding is very marketable.
So Yuan Shao immediately agreed with Guo Tu's opinion and asked Cao Cao to send the emperor to the south of Jizhou, otherwise he would not send troops to aid Cao Cao.
As for Yuan Shao, what can he bring to the Han Dynasty? He Cao Mengde thinks that he still knows relatively well, how can a guy who has been ambitious since he was a child and secretly trains fierce forces easily give up the power that falls into his hands.
And then he is just a guy who is greedy for power, once he is a little, the things that the ninety-five position can bring to the world will not be much better than others, although in this society where most of the intellectual elites are concentrated in the big families, if Huangquan falls into the hands of some peasant rebels, it will inevitably cause greater problems, but not all intellectual elites are suitable to sit on the throne of the emperor, otherwise there may be many years of turmoil.
If it was the previous dynasty where each city had its own fiefdom and governed it, maybe these courtiers would know how to govern the world after the rebellion, but the emperor had not allowed them to have actual territory in order to weaken the power of the courtiers, so they might not be able to master the skills of governing the world after the rebellion was successful, and the biggest problem exposed in this process was the interference and deprivation of imperial power to Chen Quan.
Today's Cao Cao already knows that these courtiers, including him, actually do not have enough ability to carry out such intelligence, although they have also served as local governors in the county, according to common sense, they do not need a piece of their own century scenery to achieve the result of having relevant experience, but it is undeniable that the emperors here always have a sense of possession of the world, and they always have an impulse to engage in corruption when they work in the territory here, but for the emperor, How to engage in corruption? That is, of course, the use of one's own administrative power and the implementation of all kinds of brutal policies of expropriation, and such tyranny will quickly appear when the rulers of the low level take control of the government.
This is exactly what Cao Cao is worried about what will happen after Yuan Shao sits in the world, so he will never put the emperor in the hands of Yuan Shao, so as not to have an inevitable tragedy, although this seems to be a bit unfounded, and he Cao Cao has a more miserable disadvantage than Yuan Shao at this point, but it is undeniable that he has a more ideal heart than Yuan Shao, at this point, even Suning has to admit it, if it weren't for the two of them each having their own needs, I think Suning will also boldly support Cao Cao.
But unfortunately, Suning will not do this now, even if he supports Cao Cao, he will choose another aspect, but this does not affect Cao Cao's grasp and control of the current situation, it is extremely correct, if he sits on the world, things will definitely become much better than Yuan Shao sitting on the world, at least he will know to cherish his own private world, instead of the purpose of competing with others for the control of the world or the right to operate something, to make those choices that the Ming Dynasty emperor could not reach.
And Cao Cao didn't know what stupid things the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did, but he had already learned a lot about history when he was in the Liangzhou system, and he even knew that under the continuous expansion of imperial power, the power of the courtiers, including many things, would be reduced one after another, first of all, relatives and nobles like Li Yuan, who were likely to be suspicious of the emperor, and then further reduced various rights, and then the warlords who caused the serious situation of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms would be seriously suspicious of the emperor, And then must learn to reduce the right to speak in politics, and in this process, the families who will interfere greatly with the imperial power will also be suppressed by the emperor because of this, and they will be affected by the most serious among them, and even the suspicion of Yang Jun of the Guanlong Group is nobles has long been aroused, so the impact they will be more serious.
And when these three situations are exploited by the imperial power, China's history will also enter the most tragic era, once there is something wrong with the imperial power itself, causing the world to play chess constantly, and then affecting national security, then a force called foreign enemies will appear on the map of history, and they will directly threaten the countries established by these emperors.
What the emperors would never have thought of was that the various measures they felt they had to do for themselves actually led to their own demise in the end, yes, in the original history, we can see such a change, after the Ming Dynasty learned the system of the Song Dynasty, they controlled the generals who could fight well in the hands of a group of brothers, and the upstarts could only do what the father died and the son succeeded, which had the same drawbacks as the inheritance of the imperial power, so the military generals group was weakened by them, Under the cultural influence of the imperial examination system, the family has long disappeared without a trace, and no one can rise from the ground at this time, and no one has the experience of governing a part of the land, so those civil officials and doctors will not have similar experience, stand up at a critical moment and regain control of the management mechanism of a country, and the remaining other situation is even more serious, and the extra precautions against the outside world have long been implemented in the bones of the imperial power, in the Song Dynasty, This was implemented very harshly, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, this point became even more serious. The positioning of those clans is almost all in captivity in their own fiefdoms, without any free power, let alone exposure to widespread understanding, although mathematics has appeared in the powerful role of the Zhou royal clan, but it is undeniable that they do not have enough power to save the scene that is about to collapse, well, when have you ever seen an artist who can save the court, they can only corrupt the court.
Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty was facing the crisis of death, it was able to stand up and support the three pillars of Chinese civilization, but none of them took up historical responsibility, and finally handed over this great river and mountain to the Manchu Qing regime, and brought indelible disasters to the modern history of Chinese civilization.
