0727 people left their homes

It is a basic common sense for people to leave their hometowns. Especially for some powerful families who have considerable local resources, the difference between being in the township and being in another township will be greater.

Of course, these Jiangling people whose ancestral home is Nanyang have not experienced the ordeal of their ancestors being exiled to other places due to the chaos of Hu Death, but the deeds of leaving their hometown and starting from scratch are passed down by word of mouth within the family.

If it weren't for the support of these Jiangling clans, it would have been difficult for the king of Xiangdong to gain the benefits of the crusade against Hou Jing's rebellious army. For example, Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, was at an absolute disadvantage in the competition with Jiangling because he did not have the full support of the Xiangyang clan, and he could only take refuge in the Western Wei Dynasty to protect himself.

After quelling Hou Jing's rebellion, not only did the king of Xiangdong gain great prestige, but these Jiangling clans also needed to share the harvest of this successful investment. Keeping the central core of the Chung Hsing regime in Gangneung itself is one of the biggest rewards they can reap.

After the repeated destruction of Hou Jing's rebellious army, King Qin, and Dingchao army, today's Jiankang has long been dilapidated, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources and other costs will be invested in rebuilding, and who should invest in these costs?

As the political center of the Southern Dynasties for a long time, Jiankang has a long political tradition. Although Wang Xie Mingmen and the Sanwu clan suffered huge losses in the Hou Jing Rebellion, they were not uprooted, but took advantage of the process of fighting against the Hou Jing Rebellion to control the local resources more and more solidly, and became a veritable local powerhouse.

If the king of Xiangdong moves the capital to Jiankang, then the re-construction of Jiankang City must rely on the cooperation of these three Wu clans, and the order also needs to be maintained by them, which will inevitably obtain more political resources.

Local powerhouses such as the Wuxing Shen clan, although Shen Yue and other famous scholars of literature and Confucianism have also emerged, but in essence, they still have not changed the characteristics of their local wealthy clans, Wuzong. If there is really any power dispute between each other, and the king of Xiangdong is difficult to reconcile, people raise their arms and call the township soldiers to rise, what do they Jiangling people have?

Specific to individuals, such as Hu Shengyou, now he is an official and a leading general, and he can be said to be the premier Praetorian Guard general of the Jiangling Military Government. But once he arrived in Jiankang, not only was he pressed by people with the same system as Wang Sengbi, but even in the face of local powerful factions like Chen Baxian who entered the court, they were inferior.

In addition to these changes in the situation, Jiankang's current defense situation is not optimistic.

The Northern Qi Dynasty was fierce and enterprising again and again, and important towns in Jiangbei such as Liyang and Guangling were lost one after another, making Jiankang only a river away from the enemy's territory, and it was possible to be invaded by the enemy at any time.

And the last time Hou Jing easily broke through the river defense, the Yangtze River moat became no longer so insurmountable in the minds of the masses. When it comes to the lives of one's family and the comfort of the regime, the shattered confidence will not be easily restored. Unless there is a similar battle to cross the river again, they are met by the defenders, and they have proved with practical actions that they have the ability to defend the river.

The city defense here in Gangneung is not impregnable, but there are no strong enemies in sight that can threaten its survival.

In the west of Shuzhong, although Xiao Ji, the king of Wuling, was unruly and established himself as the emperor, the Xiling Gorge, the main road out of Shu, was still in the hands of the Jiangling Military Government. As long as the Shu soldiers could not break through this key point of Jiangling's defense, it would be difficult for them to advance eastward, let alone pose any substantial threat to Jiangling.

Xiangyang in the north is a defeated general, and Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, even needs to surrender to the Western Wei Dynasty to survive, let alone the opponent of the Jiangling Military Government.

If there was any visible threat, it was the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion of the Western Wei Dynasty, whose power spanned Jianghan.

However, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion and the Jiangling Military Government also interacted closely, and General Li was not a violent and vulgar town soldier head, he was a scholarly, courteous and virtuous corporal, and he also had the demeanor of a famous man.

It can be clearly said that General Li and the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion behind him are fundamentally different from the Northern Qi court, which disregarded the friendly agreement between the two sides, took advantage of the fire to rob, and was insatiable.

The Northern Qi Dynasty was a barbarian based on Jiangbei and ready to choose and devour people at any time, while the Jingzhou Governor's Office under the rule of General Li was hospitable, elegant and tolerant, and was a strategic ally worthy of friendship and wooing.

Of course, there is the most basic point, even if General Li is pretending, the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion is still waiting for the opportunity to launch an attack on their Southern Liang at any time, which is far less threatening than the Northern Qi Dynasty!

Therefore, whether to establish the capital in Gangneung or move to Jiankang downstream, at least for the people of Gangneung, the former is undoubtedly a better choice.

Of course, not all Gangneung people have such a clear and organized understanding, and some people still feel that they should follow the tradition of the past and call it a normal regime in Jiankang. Otherwise, the people in the Sanwu region far downstream would not even know what the state of King Enwei of Xiangdong was, and naturally they would not regard the Jiangling Military Government as the central orthodoxy.

But the formation of any concept takes time, Jiankang, the so-called center of the royal industry of the Southern Dynasty, has not always been like this, when the emperor was dressed in a hurry to cross to the south, who would have thought that the Jin Emperor Sima Rui would start the political pattern of hundreds of years of river rowing? And in the final analysis, the Jiankang regime is just a corner of the country, and it is really stubborn to hold on to the defects, which makes people feel ridiculous!

Naturally, this is the rhetoric that Li Tai used to convince these Gangneung people, everyone has to accept the fact that Jin Ou is incomplete, and even if the capital is moved to Jiankang, the regime is still not complete. And why is it that the land of Sanwu is the people of Qixia Shun, and the people of Gangneung are the border horses?

In order to control this series of concepts for the people of Gangneung, Li Tai is also very diligent these days, and frequently invites these Gangneung streams, some of whom are more stubborn and dull, and often have to be invited many times, in order to make them understand the interests and significance of taking root in Gangneung, and never be fooled by people and make decisions that will definitely regret it.

Taking a step back, even if you want to move the capital to Jiankang, you can think about it in the long run, and if you don't go now, you can go in the future. But if you hastily move the capital to Jiankang, it will be difficult to come back!

The people in Jiangling already had such worries, coupled with Li Tai's serious and intimate lobbying, they gradually reached a consensus within themselves, that is, General Li was right! Regardless of their different positions, in terms of eyes alone, General Li can see farther and more comprehensively than the king of Xiangdong!

In fact, today's Jiangling side has not yet discussed this series of issues, and even the king of Wuling in Shu has been called the emperor, and the king of Xiangdong is still twisting and kneading and not accepting the persuasion of the ministers, this guy still has certain requirements for himself, and strives to create an atmosphere of the lord of Zhongxing.

But now that the giant has been eliminated, all parties are still arrogant and strong, and their family alone has Xiao Jing, the king of Liang, who controlled Xiangyang and defected to the Western Wei Dynasty, and Xiao Ji, who seized Shuzhong and brazenly proclaimed the emperor.

This is obviously not in line with the expectations of the king of Xiangdong for his family and country, so the matter of ascending the throne and becoming emperor has been delayed. Compared with other people in the clan, the king of Xiangdong finally still has some literati style, arrogance and hypocrisy, but in terms of personal ability, he is a little bit eye-catching, and he only finds that he is purely uncomfortable with himself in the end.

At least his twisting and pinching rhythm gave Li Tai an opportunity to contact the people in Gangneung and instill in them to dissuade them from moving the capital to Jiankang. Li Tai knew that the current Jingzhou Governor's Mansion had brought far more pressure to the Jiangling Military Government than at the same time in history, and he would have to be more attentive if he wanted the King of Xiangdong to stay in Jiangling.

In addition, like Liu Guangde, the son of Liu Zhixuan's clan before, Li Tai also selected some worthy of attention among these people to deepen contact, such as Hu Changyi, the son of Hu Shengyou.

Setting up banquets and giving gifts are all basic operations to buy people's hearts. Occasionally, Li Tai also invited these people to go in and out of the barracks and official offices, so that they could feel the military and political atmosphere inside the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

People often have a sense of fear and vigilance and even rejection of unknown things, but as long as they know more, their acceptance will increase accordingly. Li Tai just let these Southern Dynasties see that their Western Wei Dynasty was not a barbarian without a charter system, and many laws and regulations were even more formal and reasonable than Jiangling.

Of course, he will not let these people come into contact with the real military and political affairs, and the scope of buying people's hearts is not limited to these Jiangling people whose ancestral home is Nanyang.

As they get acquainted with each other, he will also extend his tentacles to some other Gangneung talents through these people. For example, Xu Wensheng once told Li Tai that there was a naval general named Xu Shipu in Jiangling, who was good at building boats, ships, ordnance and other utensils, and many Jiangling water warfare equipment came from his hands.

Such technical talents are exactly what the Jingzhou Governor's Office lacks, so Li Tai also carefully inquired about Xu Shipu and other similar talents through these Jiangling people, hoping to find an opportunity to dig people from Jiangling and enrich his talent pool here.
