Chapter 199: Take Control of the Princes' Army
In terms of the ability to seize power in disguise, Liu Jian's ability in this regard, which has traveled from later generations, is naturally far higher than that of people of this era.
Don't look at the king of Hejian and others as princes, but in the final analysis, they are just a group of people who have just been able to open a mansion, and the fundamental ability and quality are still too far from Liu Jian, Liu Jian wants to play with them, and he can play them to death with his eyes closed.
It is not too much to say that it is hand-to-hand.
Especially at present, the chips in the hands of the princes and kings of Jizhou are far less than Liu Jian.
Among their subordinates, people like Zhang He and Gao Ran who felt that they had been cheated were not a minority in the army of the five princes and kings.
These people who can be recruited by the princes and kings to the palace as military attaches have some power in the local counties.
However, because of Emperor Liu Hong's annoying policy of checks and balances, the princes and kings did not have enough ability to meet the political needs of these local military attachés.
This also gave Liu Jian, the Jizhou pastor, the opportunity to insert a needle.
In the whole Jizhou, when it comes to the person who can give the local Shu people the greatest policy, there is no doubt that it is Liu Jian.
Moreover, Liu Jian has now undergone a series of rectifications, and he is already a unique existence in the south of Jizhou, and his appeal in policy will inevitably far exceed those princes and kings.
Moreover, Liu Jian is confident that even if he digs up the roots of the princes and kings' armies in the county, these princes and kings will thank him, because Liu Hong's policy to the princes and kings does not allow them to support the army for a long time.
In the short term, the princes and kings can raise their own troops at their own expense, but after a long time, it will inevitably become a problem.
Soldiers and horses and finances, including agriculture, are complementary to each other, and only the princes and kings of soldiers and horses are even inferior to the nomads.
After Zhang He and Gao Ran listened to Liu Jian's general explanation, their hearts began to be excited.
Although they have not yet shown their eagerness to move "their own formation" from the princes to the pastoral office.
But then, the attitude of the two of them towards Liu Jian obviously became extremely respectful.
At the same time, they also began to make suggestions for Liu Jian in view of the battle situation in the north of Youzhou, and try to show their abilities as much as possible.
Although the two of them did not bluntly say that they wanted to transfer their identities to the pastoral department, they suddenly planned for Liu Jian so dedicatedly, which is enough to see that they are showing loyalty to Liu Jian from another angle.
Hejian Country is relatively close to Youzhou, and Zhang He and Gao Ran have traveled to Youbeiping in the past, so they know some of the situation in Wuhuan.
They told Liu Jian that Qiu Liju, the current Wuhuan lord of Liaoxi County, is in charge of 5,000 yiluo, and his power is stronger among the Wuhuan of the ten counties, and this person is ambitious, and it seems that it is relatively difficult to control among the Wuhuan of the ten counties, so Liu Jian is asked to pay attention to him.
Liu Jian, who had a little knowledge of history, naturally knew that Qiu Liju was the one who accompanied Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun to rebel against the Han Dynasty, but although he knew everything that Zhang He and Gao Ran had reported, he still expressed his gratitude to Zhang He and Gao Ran.
Subsequently, Liu Jian asked the two about Wuhuan in various counties, including the customs of Wuhuan.
Zhang He and Gao Ran diverged to Liu Jian about Wuhuan's customs.
Wuhuan has been moving inward for nearly a hundred years, living together with the Han people, and its tens of thousands of towns have settled, and their living habits have long been assimilated by the Han people.
Deeply assimilated by the Han people, and many Wuhuan people have intermarried with the Han people, and after the marriage, the Han nationality who settled in the local area became the Han people, and there are many people who have blood ties between the two ethnic groups.
After Liu Yu arrived in Youzhou in history, he adopted a gentle policy for many foreign races, and the main reason for this was that they were similar to Wuhuan and other ethnic groups.
You say that they are aliens, but in fact they have been living with the Han people for a hundred years, although in the household registration system, they are still separated from the Han people, but in normal life, the Han people in the border counties and the Wuhuan people because of the fact that there is an intermarriage, resulting in many border clans, the Han people in the township, will have some Wuhuan relatives.
Many people say that aliens are hateful, and aliens are hateful, but if you really want to commit genocide, how can you kill them?
Two out of ten aliens are related to the local Han people!
The plan for total slaughter is unrealistic.
If anyone with foreign blood and relationship is killed, at least one-fifth of the Han people in that county will also be buried with them.
The Xiongnu, including those who were stationed in Meiji, were also facing this situation.
Just blindly quarreling and extinguishing Hu, but not smoothing out the blood blending relationship in it, that is blind quarrel.
Subsequently, Zhang He said a thing about the customs of Wuhuan, which made Liu Jian feel pleasantly surprised, he really didn't think about it in detail.
Zhang He told Liu Jian that as far as he knew, the status of Wuhuan "adults" in each county was not hereditary.
That is to say, if Qiu Liju, the "adult" of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, dies, his son is not the only person who is qualified to inherit the position of "adult" in Wuhuan in Liaoxi.
On the surface, it seems to be very democratic and humane, but Liu Jian, who is well versed in the way of human nature, knows the stakes best.
The Han emperor's family or the children of the clan inherited the family business, not only the hereditary system, but also established many rules such as the eldest son and the concubine.
For what?
The reason why the ritual law is so prescribed must also be a long-term thinking of human nature.
The most fundamental thing is to ensure the stability of the family inheritance at the time of inheritance.
If there is no rigid rule of etiquette, once it comes to the inheritance of family business, I am afraid that the incidents of fratricide will occur again and again, endlessly.
But even so, brothers fight, and life-and-death incidents still happen repeatedly.
This is still the case with a clear heir, not to mention a system like Wuhuan that is not hereditary.
As long as you are ambitious, you can cause trouble.
When Liu Jian heard this, the corners of his mouth outlined a smile.
……
The next day, after the princes and kings sobered up, Liu Jian began to discuss this important matter with them.
In front of the princes and kings, Liu Jian ordered someone to carry out the fake festival Yue given to him by the first emperor Liu Hong.
Subsequently, Liu Jian bowed to the axe to pay tribute to the first emperor.
The five princes and kings also followed each other to salute.
The Liu family worshiped and worshipped the big axe.
After the salute, Liu Jian began to tell the princes and kings about the current situation in Hebei.
Ji, secluded places, Taihang and Montenegro thieves everywhere not to mention, Xianbei tribes since the death of Tanshi Huai, although there are frequent civil wars, but with the passage of time, many tribes have begun to gradually reconcile, and in the border of the Han Dynasty, there is a great intention to re-enter the Kou.
Wuhuan is also ready to move, and has the intention of taking advantage of the situation to rebel.
At this time, he Liu Jian should follow the orders of the first emperor, integrate the armies of Ji and You, and be ready to use troops against the north at any time, and be ready to stabilize the northern border at any time.
I hope that the princes and kings sitting here can help and set an example.
When the princes and kings heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke first.
Liu Jian understood what they meant, how could they easily give away the princes and kings who had been formed with great difficulty?
If you change it to yourself, you are not happy.
But it doesn't matter, Liu Jian has prepared a set of brainwashing words.
I can't help but say no.
