422 Feudalism
After some discussion, Su You immediately ordered the people to open the north gate of Lincang City.
Then he saw that the water of the moat in front of him was slowly disappearing, and the water level of the lake had been lowered by four or five feet. From this, he saw more than 20 cement piers, which had been leading from Lincang City to his face.
Subsequently, the defenders of Lincang City began to push out the planks more than two zhang wide and more than half a foot thick from the city, and fixed them one by one on the bridge piers; Just the work of tea, a bridge that can allow four horses to ride together is presented in front of the plan.
Jian Guozhao suddenly realized, and he had a further understanding of Su You's ingenious workmanship, but he secretly thought in his heart, "With these bridge piers, even if I use a boat to attack Lincang City, as long as people let it go, my ship can only be stuck."
After the bridge was built, the soldiers in Lincang City nodded to Jian Guozhao.
Jian Guozhao naturally understood what it meant, originally he thought that Su You would come out in person to accept the surrender; But now, he felt nothing but loss in his heart.
But after thinking about it carefully, he also understood that Su You was worried that he would surrender, and now he obviously didn't have to take such a risk.
When he understood his situation, he no longer had the slightest temper, and immediately ordered a hundred soldiers and horses to escort him into the city.
Fifty or sixty zhang away, Fu Guozhao led the horse to walk in the forefront, but the steps were heavy, and it seemed that there was a footprint in every step. - Such a humiliating thing as surrender, Jian Guozhao didn't even think about it yesterday.
There were still more than ten zhang before he arrived at the gate of the city, and he saw Su You walking out under the escort of Li Milai, Yanbei, Wang Dynasty Mahan and others, with a smile on his face, which was obviously unique to the victor.
Thinking of the situation of the clansmen, Fu Guozhao didn't know how depressed he was at the moment, and immediately bowed down and said, "The general of the defeated army, Jian Guozhao has seen the envoy"
Su You immediately stood up and made a gesture of support to Gu Guozhao, "General Fu is serious, this time Su You invited the general, and he also wanted to discuss the crime of crusading against Duan Ruqi and colluding with foreign enemies, let's go to the city first?" ”
Su You didn't mention the surrender of the surrender for half a sentence, which can be regarded as giving enough face to the country, although the latter was a little grateful to him in his heart. But he still had the consciousness of a surrenderer in his heart, and immediately nodded, indicating that he was at the mercy of Su You.
Su You made a gesture of invitation to Fu Guozhao, and as if he had just remembered, he asked the latter, "General Fu and his brothers haven't eaten lunch yet, right?" Why don't you let the residents of Lincang City go out to work first? ”
Ji Guozhao couldn't help but scold Su You for "hypocrisy" in his heart, not only because Su You said that he would go out of the city before noon to surrender, but also because he was now buying people's hearts.
Whether or not to eat lunch is not the most important thing, anyway, the soldiers of Guozhao only eat two meals on weekdays.
But from Su You's words, Jian Guozhao still heard his intention to show off, and it was obvious in his words that Lincang City had always had the habit of three meals; What's even more infuriating is that he originally thought that he and his own think tank were discussing how to accept his surrender and delay the surrender.
Jian Guozhao now understands that Su You went to eat just now, not only did he eat lunch, but he also made his soldiers accustomed to eating lunch, how will he raise these soldiers in the future?
Isn't this the buying of people's hearts by Chiguoguo?
Although he was dissatisfied with Su You's hypocrisy, he still felt that it was difficult to be warm, and more importantly, his gang had indeed not eaten for a long time
Su You looked at Jian Guozhao and nodded, then turned his head to Li Mi and said, "Xuandi, in the future, General Xuan's brothers will be handed over to you for three meals a day; If you train too hard, you must not be stingy with food or something. ”
Li Mi immediately received the order, "My subordinates understand. ”
Su You's attitude was obviously to let Li Mi take away the duties of Guozhao, and after the latter understood this, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood on the spot.
The guards behind Jian Guozhao also heard Su You's words, and most of Jian Guozhao's personal guards silently fought for Su You's arrangement; There were also a small number of soldiers who heard that they could eat three meals a day, and a smile appeared on their faces.
After dealing with the details of these surrenders, Su You, accompanied by Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others, hosted a banquet for Jian Guozhao; And Li Mi led dozens of guards and hundreds of Lincang people to begin to carry food and wine for the soldiers of Guozhao
The army of the country has not touched rice for six or seven days, although it can eat horse meat every day, but it is swallowed with tears; Now there is white flower rice sent by Lincang City, as well as sweet and delicious fruit wine, it is really like a festival.
And at Su You's banquet, he didn't eat anything because he was full of concerns.
Su You and the others had already eaten lunch, and at this time they only took a few sips of wine symbolically, and he also knew that Fu Guozhao was worried, so he swore and said, "General Fu rest assured, I have received the battle report from Dali, although Dali City was taken down, but because Zi Hengzhi decisively demoted Wang Bodang, so he has no reason to embarrass the people of Dali."
The statement that Dali City was taken by Su You had already been conveyed to him through the envoy of Ji Guozhao, otherwise he would not have made up his mind to surrender to Su You so quickly. But surrender is said to be a matter of knowing current affairs, and Guozhao is also a little embarrassed, isn't it because he knows current affairs that he surrendered to Su You?
After Fu Guozhao learned that his son surrendered to Wang Bodang, even if he jumped like thunder, what he hated was not that Wang Bodang was brave and good at fighting, but that his son was not successful.
But now, didn't he surrender to Su You? My father and son really have their fathers and their sons
Jian Guozhao also knew that now was not the time to discuss the surrender of Su You or Wang Bodang, and the most important thing was how to preserve the inheritance of the Bai clan.
Su You looked at the country and didn't speak, and said step by step, "Although the land in the southwest is not as big as the northeast, the southwest has an advantage that the east can't reach. General Plan, you think that the north and east of Dongjiao are the territory of the Great Sui, and the west is the narrow Tubo Desert, and it is very difficult for Dongfu to develop."
Jian Guozhao naturally nodded, "I know what the envoy wants to say, but Duan Ruqi and Pu have an army of 50,000, if their southern territory is so easy to occupy, why bother with Nanzhong"
Su You shook his head, "To the southwest of Pubu, there are places such as Nanyu Kokang, and those places are basically jungles, the reason why they have not made up their minds to develop outward is not that they are worried that the Duan clan will stab them in the back and pick the fruit?" Let's drive them out of the southern umbrella this time, and then develop to the south, I can once again give General Jian a guarantee, as long as it is the territory laid by the general, I will not take an acre! ”
"What's that envoy?" Listening to Su You's painting cake, Fu Guozhao asked a little playfully.
Although Jian Guozhao was already a fish on Su You's chopping board at the moment, he felt that Su You had talked too much about things, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Su You looked at Jian Guozhao and said word for word, "If I say that what I am looking for is the Central Plains, do you believe it?" ”
Although Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others present had already guessed Su You's plan, the first time they heard his statement, their hearts still shook; Su You's words are obviously a big rebellion.
But when Su You said this now, it really seemed to give them a shot in the arm, and they instantly felt that they had not been wronged in the five or six years they had stayed in Nanzhong; As long as the ship cannon made by Su You is used, the Central Plains, which has fallen into war, will be quickly settled.
Follow Su You to mix, and making achievements is just around the corner, and what Su You is saying now is that he wants to establish his own regime.
Then Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, who think they are Su You, are difficult to become knights without adding officials.
Hearing Su You's rebellious statement, Fu Guozhao was immediately taken aback, but he didn't feel particularly surprised when he thought about it carefully.
Su You nominally wanted to maintain the stability of Nanzhong, and stayed here for five or six years, during which he abolished the agricultural tax in Lincang, vigorously developed commerce, developed cross-era warships and artillery, and trained a hundred soldiers
This kind of thing all shows that he is recuperating, and it is not just Nanzhong who is plotting.
Seeing the sharpness of Su You's weapons, Fu Guozhao didn't think that Su You was talking big; It can be said that as long as Su You buys people's hearts like in Lincang after returning to the Central Plains, it will definitely be a matter of time before he takes the Central Plains.
So, here's the problem.
"After the envoy unifies the Central Plains, how to deal with Nanzhong?" Jian Guozhao asked this sentence slowly, and his heart became apprehensive.
"Planing people, that's my idea. If I unify the Central Plains, Nanzhong will be my land of Longxing, and I will implement the system of self-control here, and there should be no objections, right? But before that, I hope that Nanzhong will remain stable, and it is best to implement the feudal system," Su You said firmly, as if the Central Plains was a dish on the table, and he could directly grab it with chopsticks if he wanted to eat it.
"Feudalism? Isn't that the current system of Nanzhong? Fu Guozhao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.
What is Feudalism?
Modern Chinese always think that Chinese history before the Manchu Qing Dynasty is called feudal society, but in fact, this is just a misunderstanding, as long as you read "On Feudalism", you can probably understand what the true meaning of feudalism is.
Strictly speaking, the history of China was no longer a feudal society after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, because this society truly realized the ideal of the emperor - under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.
Everything in the world belongs to the emperor alone, the courtiers work for the emperor, the people serve the emperor, and everyone can only kneel when facing the emperor.
This is not a feudal society, this is a slave society in disguise.
The characteristic of feudalism is that the feudal lord enjoys the supreme right in his own territory, that is, I am the master of my territory, including judicial power. Only those who have judicial power within the territory are the word "lord" in Chinese Chinese; He could call himself a "vassal" before the king.
Only a country with such vassals is called "feudal".
From this point of view, today's Great Sui is not a feudal society, but today's Nanzhong is a feudal society,—— although Nanzhong has no real king, but Nanzhong is composed of countless tribes. These tribes were equivalent to the vassals of the various vassal states in the era of the kingdoms, and Duan Ruqi, the princess of Zhao Biyun of the kingdom, and others were the lords of the vassal states.
Feudal society was the most stable social system in a certain historical period, which can be proved only from the time of existence of the Zhou Dynasty.
Compared with the feudal system, Su You is of course more inclined to the parliamentary system of later generations, but the rebellious statement of "everyone is equal" is obviously more unacceptable than "the anti-emperor and the old child".
