Chapter 595: No Choice
Over the years, all the military generals and officials in the area around Jianye City belonged to Liu Xuan's ruling area, as well as the local wealthy families. They've been doing quite well all the time. Mainly after Liu Miao sent troops to pacify the bandits and robbers in his territory, and the New Han Army destroyed Yan Baihu, a Jiangyang thief in the Jiangdong area, in the early years. The area around Jianye is in a relatively stable and tranquil area.
Although, occasionally, there will be some threats from Sun Ce in Jiangdong or Cao Cao in the north of Yangzhou Yuan Shu earlier, but the threat is not great, and it is all within the tolerance of the military generals and local clans in these Jianye areas.
Therefore, it was originally an eventful place, and the construction of the industry was a place where soldiers must fight, but unlike in history, it actually had a long period of stability and stability.
It is precisely because of this that the officials in the Jianye area, from Liu Miao onwards, are all enjoying this peace of mind, thinking that no one will do anything to them. All the while, they were content with the status quo and immersed in their self-righteous beauty.
Of course, in their subconscious, they also know that they are not really safe and peaceful, but the big forces in the Han Dynasty don't want to pay attention to them for the time being, and they don't raise troops against them. It is precisely because they all know that no one knows how many days they can live a happy life, so they are very crazy on weekdays, in Jianye City, those military generals and ministers, local tyrants, while frantically looting wealth, while living a crazy drunken life.
Now, Liu Yi suddenly arrived, and the banquet had just begun, so he asked the question of where Jianye would go in the future. This made these upper-level figures of Jianye shiver all over, and there was an uncomfortable feeling that their dreams were shattered in an instant.
But. None of them dared to say anything, they all looked at Liu Xuan, in Jianye, Liu Xuan had indeed established authority, those Jianye's military generals and ministers, and local tyrants, all looked to Liu Xuan.
At this time of the collective interest of all of them. No one spoke.
After Liu Yi listened to Liu Yi's question, his face also changed, and his body shook. As a prince, he actually knew better in his heart that this day might come sooner or later, but he didn't think about it. The day will come so soon. It came so suddenly, and it was still in this situation.
Originally, Liu Miao still thought that when that day came, at least, it would be the New Han Army or Cao Cao's army coming to the city, and he was really powerless to resist. Then he will surrender as a last resort. If there is still a chance, he actually wants to hold it off first. Waiting for the opportunity, let his Jianye, can be independent forever, he himself is the king of Jianye, sitting on one side, and he will be honored for a lifetime.
But now, Liu Yi came to him so casually and asked this question that he had to consider carefully, which made Liu Yi not know how to respond to Liu Yi for a while.
"Taifu ......" Liu Miao looked at Liu Yi, and then looked around at the representatives of the Jianye civil and military forces and local tyrants, opened his mouth to speak, and said curtly: "Taifu, you, why did you suddenly ask this question?" This question, the old man thinks, we have to discuss with all the civil and military and their squires in Jianye before we can answer the Taifu, after all, Jianye City is not just the old man can determine the future direction with a word. ”
"Then it's just right today, I just listened to the introduction of Brother Zhengli (Liu Xuanzi), and the civil and military and squires in Jianye City are basically here, right? Why don't you give your opinion now? Liu Yi waved his hand, looked around at Jianye Wenwu present, and said to Liu Yi.
"Now ......" Liu Miao looked embarrassed.
Seeing this, Liu Yi sneered in his heart, but he maintained a warm smile on his face and said, "This, in fact, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." You must know that Jianye City is the most prosperous city in Jiangdong region, and it is the central city in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that based on the unique situation of the Han Dynasty now, there are Luoyang Imperial Court and Xudu Imperial Court, who has not directly implemented administrative governance of Jianye, and you Jianye may also have difficulties, after all, the two imperial courts, you don't know for a while, which court can represent the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, you build the industry from scratch, I don't know which court to submit to. But you have to submit to one of them, am I right? Otherwise, Lord Liu Xuan, do you want to emulate Yuan Shu's traitor? Want to call the king the emperor according to Jianye? ”
Liu Yi shuddered, almost unintimidated by Liu Yi's words. He did have the idea of fishing in troubled waters, and when the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao were defeated, he Liu Miao would officially become independent and even claim the king. However, he knew that it was all fantasy, and with his current strength, it was impossible for him to participate in the great cause of dominating the world, and it was quite good that he could divide one place.
"It's too serious, how can the old man have such bad intentions?"
"There's no best." Liu Yi seemed to be able to see through Liu Xuan's thoughts, and looked at him sharply and said, "Now the situation of the Han Dynasty, I believe that Lord Zhengli is very clear in his heart. You must also know how to choose. You and I are both relatives of the Han family, so I don't want to embarrass you Brother Zhengli, and I don't want outsiders to see that our brothers are. Therefore, I came to say hello to my brother first, so as not to let you choose if the army of the New Han Dynasty came to the city, and then let you choose, if you really want to go that far, I think, you and I are not good-looking. Right? ”
Liu Yi's frank appearance made Liu Yi really think about it, if Liu Yi could fight with him, then he could still bypass this problem, and he could drag it out for a while, and it was best to drag it on until the New Han Dynasty and Cao Cao fought a big battle.
He was afraid that Liu Yi would be like this, and he would talk to him openly and honestly, so that he could not avoid it.
"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that you will leak the plans of our New Han Army, after all, even if you leak it out, let Cao Cao know that Cao Cao no longer has the ability to change this situation." Liu Yi said, stretched out his hand and drew twice in front of him: "The topographic map of the Han Dynasty, especially the Central Plains, is actually sandwiched by the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. ”
Liu Yi drew a big circle again and said: "Look again, north of the Yellow River." has all been returned to the territory of the New Han Dynasty, south of the Yangtze River, just your brother. Almost everything else is under the control of our New Han Army. Looking at the naval army of the New Han Dynasty, it is completely possible to land by sea to attack Jiezhou and take the Qingzhou and Shandong regions. In fact, Cao Cao's territory of influence has been completely surrounded by the New Han Army of our New Han Dynasty. And our New Han Army. The officially established army is afraid that there are already more than two hundred or three million, and our army can completely attack Cao Cao at the same time in multiple ways. Think about it. Whose hands will this great man fall into in the end? You Jianye, I count you as having an army of 300,000 or 400,000, so what? I'm the New Han Army. Dispatched 100,000 Xinhan army sailors. It will be able to make you tired. Rather than being forced to consider the question of where to go in the future, it is better to take a long-term view, strive to take the initiative, and take the initiative to get more benefits in the future. Liu said this, Brother Zhengli, and all the adults here, can you all understand my Liu Yi's painstaking efforts to come to see you today? ”
Liu Yi's words made the Jianye civil and military forces present deeply convinced. Now the topic is open, and the conversation is broken. Only then did they really see their strength and weakness, and they were not the opponents of the New Han Army at all. With the illusion of self-reliance, I'm afraid it's impossible.
Therefore, more Jianye Wenwu began to consider what Liu Yi said, if they took the initiative, what benefits could they get?
Liu Miao also knew that it was impossible to avoid today, and Liu Yi came to be a lobbyist in person, which was equivalent to giving him Liu Mian's face. If he really doesn't know how to be flexible, then he's really a mediocre talent.
He couldn't help asking: "That, Taifu, what are the benefits you are talking about......"
"Haha...... Brother Zhengli, junior brother feels that you are more like a businessman" Liu Yi laughed, and said to Liu Xuan with a smile: "Well, first of all, I can assure you, Brother Zhengli, you are still the Taishou of Jianye City, and all your civil and military official positions will not be moved for the time being, you local squires, who belong to your property and family business, the Xinhan Army will not move first, especially the business you are running or something, everything is as usual for the time being."
"Oh?"
Liu Yi said this, and all the Jianye civil and military in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads one after another.
"Taifu, that ...... What you said is temporary, but what if you change your mind again in the future? Liu Miao said a little worriedly.
"I can give you a positive answer now, I will definitely not dismiss you from your official position in the civil and military affairs of Jianye without reason, interfere with your business without reason, and confiscate and swallow the property and family business of you squires without reason." Leo said affirmatively.
"Of course!" Liu Yi raised his hand again, stopped some people's questions, and said: "As the saying goes, the country is the law of the country, and the family has family rules, since you belong to the rule of the New Han Dynasty, then, the laws and regulations you implement can only be on par with the New Han Dynasty in the future, which will include several aspects." ”
"Please make it clear!" Liu Miao and other prime ministers asked.
"First of all, the military horses of your Jianye must be reorganized, according to the military establishment of the New Han Army, and reorganized into several armies, and the generals in your army will also be renamed according to the military rank of the New Han Army. The generals who used to lead 20,000 or 30,000 horses will become the generals of the first army after they are reorganized. Secondly, the same is true for civil officials, who must be renamed according to the official titles and functions of the New Han Dynasty. ”
"This ...... It should be like this......" Liu Miao thought about it and felt that this was acceptable.
"Wait, I haven't finished talking about what I mean, after the reorganization, after the reorganization of the government. Your current generals and civilian officials must be vetted. The New Han Dynasty only uses people and makes the best use of their talents. If, after examination, it is found that one of you is not suitable or simply not capable of performing his duties in his position, then he will definitely be demoted or even removed from his official position. At this point, I, Liu Yi, will talk about the ugly things in the front, and when the time comes, don't complain that I didn't make it clear to you. The capable go up, and the weak go down. This is the employment rule of the New Han Dynasty. Of course, all of this is for the better and faster revitalization of the Han Dynasty and the revitalization of China. ”
"Business, the same is true for the local squires, for the rich and unkind, for the business traitor, the New Han Dynasty government must be severely punished, it does not belong to your interests, who dares to stretch out their hands and move, then don't blame the national law for being ruthless!" Lewy finished saying this very seriously.
Liu Miao and the others looked at each other, and they all beat drums in their hearts for a while.
"Tai, Taifu......" An old squire stood up and bowed his hand to Liu Yi and said, "I heard...... I heard that every time the New Han Dynasty seized a piece of land, it would nationalize the land of the local clans, and then distribute it to the people who had no land and no land, like the old man, who had relied on his own land for generations to maintain the livelihood of the big family, in case the land was nationalized by the New Han Dynasty, then, wouldn't we ......?"
"Hehe, this old gentleman may be overthinking, or rather, you don't really understand the New Han Dynasty." Liu Yi explained to him: "You must know that if the imperial court really wants to say that it will nationalize all your fields, it is actually not wrong. I believe you all understand such a truth, how can there be a home without a country? Only when there is a country can there be a home, so that is to say, everything belongs to the country, that is, to the Han family. ”
"However, the country is also for all the people in the country, you soldiers, officials, landlords, merchants, in fact, all are the people of the Han Dynasty, and the basic national law of the Han Dynasty is equal to all people. If you are good and keep your peace, as landlords, you will be able to do not deduct from deductions, so that you will not be so exploited that the people who cultivate the fields for you will not be able to survive. In this way, our government of the New Han Dynasty will not arbitrarily nationalize your land. It's yours, it's yours, and we won't mess around. ”
"That's fine...... the old squire wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, feeling that with his family situation, he didn't seem to have committed the problems that Liu Yi said. However, many of them complained in their hearts because they were very harsh on the people who worked for them.
"Well, actually, there will be a special civil official to explain everything to you in detail later. Don't be too anxious to find out."
"Now, I can also tell you that the New Han Army will soon march into the Central Plains, and before the march, I will not allow any other forces in Jiangdong that do not obey the orders of the New Han Dynasty. You return to the New Han Dynasty and hurry up the time to reorganize the army, maybe there will be many generals among you, who can participate in the last battle of the incomparably glorious unification of the Han Dynasty. If any of you have made great achievements, in the future, you will also be famous for eternity and enter the temple. ”
Liu Miao secretly turned his eyes, knowing that Liu Yi was like this, which was tantamount to dividing the relationship between him and the generals below, but now, he also knew that he had no choice. (To be continued......)
