Chapter 738: Strategizing (Part II)
Chapter 738 (Medium)
I don't know how much magic that book has. is still silent, and his words are full of demagoguery, and he actually hooked Wang Yin, who has been pure-hearted and has few desires for many years, into the gang. It's just that all three of them coincidentally remained silent about that issue, and even for a long time afterward, they would not bring it up again. Everyone is a person who has experienced great storms and ups and downs, and knows the importance and depth best, rather than thinking about those things that seem unattainable, it is better to get through the difficulties in front of you first.
After all, Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng were returning to their old business, and soon entered the state, when they heard Shen Mo say that Zhang Zhen was seriously injured, the two sighed together: "Improper use of people......"
Silent and depressed, my heart said that there are no eyes on the battlefield, why don't I understand the situation, so I say that I don't use people properly?
The two saw that he was not convinced, looked at each other and smiled, Zheng Ruozeng said: "My lord, you used to be in charge of government affairs, and you are not bad at using people's eyes, but with all due diligence to the students, it is the first time you have encountered it in military affairs, right?" Fewer words"
Silently took a chopstick to steam the silver carp, dipped it in the soup and said, "I have subdued Xu Hai in Suzhou; Beat Huang Taiji in Xuanfu. I wonder if this counts as military affairs? After saying that, the three of them laughed together.
After laughing, he silently wiped his tears and said: "Yes, it happened that he would fight two battles before, one was with the Qi family's army, and the other was when the blind cat met the dead mouse. ”
"No one is perfect," Wang Yin said with a smile: "If you can do anything, then what's the use of us?" He spoke slowly and softly, not as aggressive as Zheng Ruozeng, which made Shen Mo feel good.
"Yes, I was just asking the two gentlemen to guide me." He swallowed his fish and said, "Why do you say that I don't use people properly?" ”
"The Art of War" cloud: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Zheng Ruozeng said: "How much do you know about the situation in Ganzhou, how much do you know about the Sanchao rebels, and how much do you know about your generals?" It's a little vague, and you can't send troops. ”
"Zhang Zhen has profound qualifications and experience in suppressing bandits in Liangguang," Shen Mo's voice became quieter and quieter: "This appointment has also been unanimously approved by the generals in the southeast. ”
"This Zhang Zhen has been suppressing bandits in Liangguang for more than ten years, and a large group of generals such as Liu Xian and Yu Dayou are all from his command......" Zheng Ruozeng shook his head vigorously and said: "As for those governors and general soldiers, anyway, the final responsibility is borne by adults, and I can't blame them for anything." ”
Seeing that Shen Mo's face was not very good-looking, Wang Yin said loudly: "Actually, it's not that someone wants to make adults ugly, it's just that they are not in their position and do not seek their own politics, no one really cares, and they feel that Zhang Zhen is almost the same." Just go with the flow. He sighed and said, "It's convenient for you to be with others and yourself...... After many years of officialdom habits, it can't be changed for a while. ”
"If it's officialdom, it's understandable, who doesn't make a mistake? Everyone helped cover the past, and this official can continue to do it. Zheng Ruozeng said: "But how can it be similar on the battlefield?" The slightest difference is a thousand miles. A mistake is a bloody lesson, and you can't cover it even if you want to. Saying that, he took a bite of Xinghuacun and said, "Why is Zhang Zhen inappropriate?" Others are getting older and hotter, but this old man is getting older and more irritable...... When he was young, he did have an extraordinary record, but after he was demoted from the squire of the military department to the governor of Guangdong, he has been holding back the fire in his heart, wanting to make great contributions and reinstate the official! ”
"Over the years, I have seen that the people around him have made meritorious contributions, but he has not achieved an inch, and he has attacked the island several times and returned with a feather, making him disgraced." Wang Yin poured Shen Mo a glass of wine and answered: "This time Liu Xian and they praised him, most likely because they didn't want the old benefactor to regret it for life, so they asked him to take command and fight this last battle!" ”
"These martial artists are pure nonsense." Zheng Ruozeng slapped the table angrily and said: "It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to suppress bandits in southern Gansu, it is not easy to say, it is like a mess, so that kind of general who is as careful as a hair." judged the situation, found the clue, and calmed down in a year and a half; But the impetuous old general is earnest in his meritorious service, which is exactly what he said...... If you want to hurry, you can't reach it. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two of you said a word, I said a word, and the silence was full of big bags, and the three feet standing on the side were disapproving, and said that the adults had no one to guide them before, so they didn't do everything very well? Why do you have to find two old people to make noise here?
Silent but his family knows his own affairs, and he didn't feel what was going on at first, but since he became the southeast strategy, he felt trembling and trembling, and felt more and more his own shortcomings.
"I know it's wrong." He raised his hand in surrender and said, "Let's talk about what to do next, shall we?" How should the little word Gannan deal with it, and how should the imperial court deal with it? ”
"On the court side, do you still need us to worry about it?" Zheng Ruozeng said with a smile on his face: "Let's not get an axe." ”
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth hung up and he smiled bitterly: "Okay, then let's just talk about Gannan." He knew that the Quzhou rebellion, the Sanchao rebellion, and the unending Japanese ...... The position of the southeast meridian is like a hot potato for the officials of the court. Moreover, it is impossible for his own teacher to deny himself because of one thing; And Gao Suqing will not easily offend himself, so it should be fine.
But if something goes wrong again, I'm afraid I will inevitably be sung 'Lost Air Chop'.
"There is a saying in officialdom, called 'Southern Jiangxi is difficult to do'!" Zheng Ruozeng scooped a spoonful of fish soup and tasted the taste: "This is a boundary of four provinces, and the mountains and streams are steep and boundless, and traitors lurk in the middle. Chasing in the east and running west, catching in the south and running north, known as the ghost and sorrow, the legend of officialdom, no matter how strong the ability of the official, to the governor here, the career is considered to come to an end. ”
"Duke Yangming also patrolled Gannan," Shen Mo interjected with a smile, "It seems that the days will be long." ”
"I was about to say Yang Minggong." Zheng Ruozeng said leisurely: "He is an extraordinary saint figure, and he is indeed beautiful in southern Gansu, so it is said that it is a little unkind to criticize his old man." Having said that, he said unceremoniously: "But it was his mishandling decades ago that caused today's situation." ”
Sanchi on the side was even more disdainful in his heart, and said secretly: "It's really crazy, even Yang Minggong won't let it go." ’
Silent but not superstitious in authority, he just wanted to listen to reason, and then make an independent judgment, so he said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”
Very satisfied with the silent reaction, Zheng Ruozeng said: "Let's start from the beginning slowly, adults must be clear in their hearts after listening to it." Then he fiddled with the cup and plate on the spot and said: "The so-called three nests refer to the strongholds established by the three bandit leaders of Li Wenbiao, Xie Yunzhang, and Lai Qinggui. Li Bandit is in Cengang, Guangdong, which is close to Jiangxi. But after Li Wenbiao's death, his sons Li Zhen and Jiang Yueyao competed for the power of the bandit army, and the two looked like they were separated, and each took his headquarters to take refuge in Xie Lai and the two thieves, and they had become vassals, so it was okay not to mention it. ”
"So let's just talk about Gannan, which refers to Ganzhou Mansion and Nan'an Mansion in southern Jiangxi, including Ganxian County, Yudu, Xinfeng, Anyuan, Longnan, Dingnan...... Chongyi and other sixteen counties. It is worthy of the monster who wrote "Jiangnan Jingluo", and he has already imprinted everything in Gannan in his heart, and only listened to him talk eloquently: "Here are poor mountains and bad waters." It is a typical mountainous terrain. Until the beginning of the country, this area was still sparsely populated, and Yang Shiqi, a scholar of the Xuanzong Dynasty, once described: "Jiangxi is a county, living on the right and upper reaches of the river, and the ten towns ruled are all remote, and the people are few and scattered among the mountains and streams, or there are no dwellings for dozens of miles." However, after so many years of reproduction, the number of people here has indeed increased, but unfortunately, it is not us Han people, but She people, who speak Hakka dialect that we do not understand, and live in the mountains with blood and clan relations, often one village with one surname, or several villages with one surname, and the customs and habits are very different from ours...... Undoubtedly, the power of the government is also the weakest in this kind of place, and it is very easy for thieves to call ......"
"Since the beginning of the Chenghua and Hongzhi years, a large number of 'Guang thieves', 'Min Kou', and 'Min Guang Liukou' have been constantly disturbing this place. And often these bandits do not leave when they come here, occupying the mountains and plundering places, making the locals miserable. This kind of rebellion intensified during the Zhengde and Ben dynasties, but the government existed in name only, and it was unable to protect the She people; The local She people have built villages and fences to resist robbers and gather ethnic groups to protect themselves; The pond they built is two zhang high and one zhang thick, two or three hundred zhang around, and the inner perforation battlements are complete, and they are built according to the mountain, and they are not opened. ”
After listening to Zheng Ruozeng's story, two words 'walled house' came to his mind, and he once went to Jiangxi to visit the shocking castle-like architecture.
"Some of these walled houses, which were built by the villagers themselves and with their life's energy, are stronger and stronger than the county seats. After it was built, it was under the management of the patriarch. The clan lives in it, usually goes out to farm, and in times of chaos it is in the enclosure to defend against the enemy, men, women and children have their own responsibilities, food and property are distributed fairly, no one is allowed to be lazy, not allowed to hide privately, not greedy for life and fear of death, and not allowed to introduce foreigners into the clan...... Once violated, they will be immediately expelled from the siege and will never return to their sect. Zheng Ruozeng said slowly: "Such cottages, earthen forts, and walled houses are by no means sporadic in the mountainous areas of southern Gansu, especially in the southern part of the border with Fujian and Guangdong, because the Liukou came, they bore the brunt, so the local cottages are also dense, for example, in Longnan County, there are more than 50 large and small earthen forts such as Taxia Village, Camel Village, Niu Brain Village, and Sheep Village, and almost all villages have their own earthen villages. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zheng Ruozeng made a long speech, saying that his mouth was dry, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said to Wang Yin: "You go on." ”
Wang Yin nodded and smiled, unlike Zheng Ruozeng, who must be detailed, his style of speaking was very simple, and he would never waste saliva: "As Brother Kaiyang said, the clan is the heaven of the people of southern Jiangnan; The walled house is their city, so that the county prince of the imperial court and the county seat have become decorations; And the local guards and troops, like other places, were forced to flee for their livelihoods......" He sighed and said: "And Lai Qinggui, Xie Yunzhang and others are all local Hao clan leaders, and most of the parents of the She people participated in the great rebellion in the Zhengde period......"
Although the words are concise but meaningful, at least Shen Mo understands what he means, the counties in southern Gannan have a false name, the army exists in name only, and the She people rely on the cottage to live and listen to the command of the clan, but most of the She people have a vendetta with the imperial court, and after the hateful juniors grow up, if the conditions are right, of course they will retaliate frantically and continue to fight against the government.
"That's what I said, the legacy of Yang Ming Gong...... Zheng Ruozeng said in a deep voice: "When the She rebellion broke out in southern Jiangnan, Yang Ming Gong was ordered to put out a large-scale rebellion in less than two years. Saying that, he sighed faintly: "But now it seems that many of his practices are actually infinitely troublesome. First of all, he advocated the invasion and suppression, and in the letter to Emperor Wuzong, he said: "The thief is growing because of the indiscriminate appeasement, because of the lack of troops, because of the reward and punishment. After obtaining the emperor's approval, he formulated a general strategy of focusing on suppression, supplemented by appeasement...... Moreover, the scope of appeasement is also strictly limited, only applicable to those who are 'coercive and subservient' and 'those who have returned to their hearts'. ”
Under the guidance of this strategy, Yang Ming Gong sat in Ganzhou and began to suppress bandits, because the army was rotten and useless, he could only train on the side; On the one hand, they used tactics to win over, divide and disintegrate the rebels. The common method is to bribe traitors with huge profits and attack them inside and outside...... At that time, the enclosed house did not prohibit relatives and friends from outside the clan from defecting, so Yang Ming Gong used this layer to mix the spies in, and went around in the middle of the night, waiting for an opportunity to open the gate of the village and capture the camp. Moreover, there was no way to exchange information between the surrounding houses, so he concocted the same method and connected more than 40 villages in two months; He also used means such as recruiting and surrendering to trap the rebel leader and kill him. Among them, turning one's face and not recognizing people and not being trustworthy are commonplace. Zheng Ruozeng said: "In our opinion, these are false and real, and clever schemes, but in the eyes of the other party, they are the conspiracy of the Han people, and it is difficult for them to be convinced." ”
"Yang Minggong has used soldiers all his life, rarely attacks them with actual attacks, and prefers to use tactics to win victories, but in fact, some soldiers are treacherous." Wang Yin interjected: "It's okay to quell an unpopular rebellion like Zhu Chenhao in this way, but it's a bit frivolous to deal with the She rebellion, which has an extremely complicated problem. ”
This is the first time Shen Mo has heard it in his life, and some people have fallen behind Wang Yangming, but after thinking about it, others know that their master Shen Lian and his master Wang Ji are both Wang Xue's faction, so they naturally will not talk nonsense in front of him, and Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Yin, since they serve as his advisers, they naturally have to know everything and say everything, so as to provide a reliable reference for his decision-making.
Thinking about it like this, Shen Mo calmed down, and said softly: "What do you mean?" ”
"Hit it with dignity!" Zheng Ruozeng said categorically: "It proves that the government is absolutely capable of defeating them, but it is unwilling to do so, not that it can't!" As he spoke, he exhaled a cloudy breath and said, "But that's only second." The most serious problem is that Yang Ming Gong has been in southern Jiangxi for two years, breaking more than 80 villages and killing more than 10,000 She people, among which there are of course culprits like Xie Zhishan and Lan Tianfeng, and strong men who rebelled against them, but there are also many old people, women and children and children......" Speaking of this, his voice was a little low and said: "In fact, there is no need to kill so many people, but Yang Ming Gong can't prevent his subordinates from raping and plundering after breaking through the earthen village, and many times in order to hide people's eyes and ears, they can only kill all people, and finally set fire to the village." ”
"This is the Achilles' heel of the literati leading the troops." Wang Yin said with sadness on his face: "Even if the heavenly talents can fight without a teacher, the binding force on the soldiers is indeed too poor...... The military salaries are meager, the status is low, and there is no like-mindedness, and those who want to rely on strict punishment and strict laws to control the soldiers can only force them all to run away. Said and sighed: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and some helpless actions of Yang Ming Gong at that time, don't delve into it." These words were obviously said to Zheng Ruozeng.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Okay, okay," Zheng Ruozeng said from the goodness: "Then let's not talk about the war, just talk about the measures of Yang Minggong after the war, the ten card laws, the township covenant, and the heart-breaking thief, although the effect is good, but it is also problematic." ”
"The Ten Brands Law is the Baojia Law adopted later, one family violates the law, and ten families sit together, so that the She people dare not go out to make a living, and they dare not go to the county government to fight if they have a lawsuit, all of which are solved internally in the clan ancestral hall." Zheng Ruozeng continued: "In addition, the township covenant he used to 'clean up the source' increased the authority of the clan because the speaker was an elder of the clan. There is also the heartbreaker thief...... "Zheng Ruozeng is definitely a party examiner, and every article must be clearly stated before stopping: "It is to replace the She nationality with the culture of the Han nationality, which is unacceptable to any ethnic group!" As a result, the She people hated the government to the core, which made its cohesion unprecedented, and the county seat painstakingly established by Yangming Gong was reduced to an ornament. ”
"Brother Kaiyang said so much," Wang Yin came out again and said: "It's not to count the Ming Gong of Luoyang, but to remind the adults, learn from the lessons of their predecessors, and properly handle the relationship between the Sanchao Rebellion and the She people in southern Gansu." ”
Mo nodded heavily and said, "I understand the hard work of the two of you. ”
"That's good, that's good......" Zheng Kaiyang has always been the main speaker, and he was also tired at this time, and smiled tiredly: "This generation of She people grew up listening to the story of 'scheming Wang Yangming'." If Yang Minggong's methods are taken out again, how can he still be bright? Zhang Zhen is eighty percent trying to catch the medicine according to the prescription, how can he not suffer? ”
partition
I was really dizzy today, I went out to do something, but I encountered a traffic jam that I had never seen before, and it took me three hours to get home, and then I wrote until now...... They were all exhausted, and their brains were mushy.
