Chapter 186: The Localists' Response

Since the founding of the country, Shu Han's attitude towards localists has always been suppression. Because basically none of these local ministers are willing to go on the Northern Expedition, they all work hard and drag their feet in office.

The idea of the local faction is, why the Northern Expedition?

How much land are we in Yizhou, and how many soldiers are there for you? Cao Wei in the north sits in Kyushu, and with an army of 400,000, what are your chances of winning the Northern Expedition?

And even if you have a chance of winning the Northern Expedition, it has nothing to do with us. The land that was beaten down does not belong to us, and our local faction still has to take people and food for the old Liu family to fight the world, am I sick?

Because of this attitude, there are basically no localists in the key positions of the Shu Han Dynasty. At most, in some unimportant positions, some people from Bazhong or people from Shuzhong who are willing to cooperate will be appointed.

Xiang Zhou, Du Wei, and Du Qiong, a group of passive war-avoiders, were all squeezed to the edge as bachelors.

There is no way, if you use this group of people to work, Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition will not be successful.

However, as a result, the anger value of this group of localists is getting higher and higher day by day. Like Qian Zhou, although he no longer dared to blatantly make depressing remarks after the first Northern Expedition, he still made various statements that we have to cultivate and recuperate, and we have to be reckless.

Originally, the localists had already resigned themselves to their fate if they couldn't beat it. The Northern Expedition is the Northern Expedition, since there is hope to send you away as soon as possible.

As a result, now Ma Jian has staged such a play for them. Especially when it seems that Zhuge Liang has acquiesced, it makes the localists even more popular.

"So are you sure that there is no support from Prime Minister Zhuge in this?" The great Confucian Zhou Shu stood up at this moment and asked Du Wei again.

"If the prime minister had nodded his head, he would have been in Tingwei instead of Mianzhu now." Du Wei waved his hand, which was one of the few people who understood, and said lightly.

"Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's majesty has been increasing day by day over the years, and now that Li Yan is gone, no one can compare. If he agrees, I am afraid that the northern army will block Chengdu that afternoon and begin to ban excess slaves. ”

"Ma Yan's matter is estimated to have been tacitly approved by Zhuge Liang, but it does not mean that the Prime Minister's Mansion agrees. Most likely, I want to see the reactions of various factions and test our bottom line. ”

"It's so damning! We paid for the Han people, and they were so wronged that they were not satisfied! Knowing that Zhuge Liang was not behind him, several leaders of the local faction suddenly hardened their waists a little, and their tones became full of neutrality.

"Yes, thanks to the discord of the Jingzhou faction, no one is willing to support Ma Tan, otherwise Ma Jian would have arrived at Tingwei by now." Du Wei snorted coldly, and looked at several colleagues with a somewhat ugly expression.

"He Ma Jian is nominally banning private soldiers, but the real purpose should be clear to everyone. The Jingzhou faction is not satisfied with pushing us out of the edge, they want to beat us all to death! ”

"If it weren't for the unclear attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, I'm afraid things would be dangerous!"

"So everyone, don't hide it, let's talk about what to do!"

Du Wei said it directly, and basically let everyone have a showdown.

Although Qian Zhou is older than Du Wei, Du Wei is more like a localist leader. His family background and status, even Zhuge Liang had to find a way to win him over.

At the beginning, he couldn't make all kinds of scores, so he asked Zhuge Liang to invite him in person.

Of course, please come out, and I didn't give any big officials, but I am still a bachelor.

However, it can be seen from this point that Du Wei has a much tougher attitude than Qian Zhou.

As soon as Du Wei's words came out, all the local bigwigs fell silent, and their eyes began to think.

It is worth mentioning that the assassination of Ma Jian was thrown aside by everyone from the beginning. After all, with Ma Yan's current reputation and importance in the imperial court, if he is assassinated, it basically represents a declaration of war on the imperial court by the local faction.

This is definitely impossible, if their group had the courage to work hard, Shu Han would not be so stable.

"Shuzhong has always been frequent, thieves are rampant, if the number of slaves is limited, isn't it disregarding the lives of the people in Shu?" At this time, Qian Zhou shook his head and said slowly.

Qian Zhou's words suddenly made everyone's eyes flash, and they all nodded in agreement.

Is there chaos in Shu?

It doesn't seem to be very chaotic, there have been a total of three rebellions in the Zhuge Liang period in history, and the scale is not large. Nanzhong is very chaotic, but it is too far away from Chengdu and basically has no reference value.

But it doesn't matter, since the big clan needs private soldiers now, then Yizhou must be chaotic!

"Don't go too far, if you force the Prime Minister's Mansion to end, no one will look good at that time." Du Wei waved his hand and said with a frown.

"So it's better not to do this kind of thing yet, it's not a good solution."

"Then Kunisuke, what should you do?" Zhou Shu frowned, looked at Du Wei and asked.

"Captain Huqiang is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a famous general of the Northern Expedition, so he should go to Longyou Hanzhong to command the troops and prepare for the Northern Expedition. Du Wei raised his eyebrows, groaned for a while, and suddenly replied.

"You mean ......"

"Transfer Ma Tan to leave Chengdu and go to contribute to the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty." Du Wei waved his hand and said.

"Although it's good that he is still in the old capital, it's best not to let him come back!"

Obviously, with Ma Tan's current prestige, it would be too much trouble to hit him. And it's not just that it's difficult, but the Prime Minister's Mansion won't agree that its chosen heir will be slandered and attacked.

So if you can't fight it, you can only find a way to hold it. Shouldn't such a military genius go to the north to shine for the Kuangfu Han Chamber?

Then send him to Hanzhong and lead the troops in Longyou, such a madman had better never come back!

All in all, the localists have been angry with him since Ma Tan tried to practice the Juntian method in Longyou. I can't do it now, I really want to send this master out.

But at this time, Du Qiong asked a key question.

"What if the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't allow it? After all, it is also ...... to transfer Ma Tan to Dongcao."

"If that's the case, don't blame us for being immoral." Du Wei replied.

If Zhuge Liang vetoes this proposal, it proves that he does have the intention of supporting Ma Yan. In this way, their native faction will fight back, and it will not be unreasonable.

Speaking of the bottom, now Shu Han still has to reason with their gang of local snakes.

Just when a group of local head snakes were discussing how to deal with Ma Tan, Ma Jian dragged Liu Yin and ran wild all night and returned to Chengdu.

As soon as the gate of Chengdu was opened, Ma Jian pulled Liu Yin into the fifth battalion of the Northern Army again.

This time, no one can stop it, because Liu Yin is also his own person of the Northern Army, and he has the right to lead people in and out.

The two of them took a few guards and went straight to the archives of the Northern Army.

Also known as the Three Kingdoms: Strangled Sun Wu at the beginning, and advanced the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Traveling to the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, he became famous for his understanding of the Three Kingdoms. With Liu Bei stationed in Xinye, Huo Jun went north to Xiangyang and plunged into the great waves of history.

To build the world with civil and military affairs, famous all over the world, enter the martial temple, and worship the great Sima.
