Chapter 3 The People's Heart Is Not Attached
Evening.
The scorching sun is falling in the west, the night is falling, and the night wind in early spring is cold, blowing people can't help but shiver.
In the moonless night, only a little light flickered in the makeshift camp on the shooting hill.
In the main tent of the camp.
Zhang Bao got up and saluted Liu Chan, and said: "Childe, I am a rough man, although I only know how to go into battle to kill the enemy, but my father also told me that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. ”
Zhang Bao was worried about Liu Chan's safety, and he didn't care if Liu Chan was willing to listen to it, but his duty as a courtier could not be lost.
He bowed his hands and half-knelt and said:
"Last year, Guanghan County Haoqiang Ma Tai Gaosheng and other rebellions, under the roar, there are tens of thousands of people, thieves are menacing, there are many people who break the city and the village, almost approaching Chengdu, if it is not for the Qianwei Taishou Li Yan and Gao Ding two people to act vigorously and resolutely, only to stop the rebellion in time, Guanghan County is like this, what about Chengdu?"
Liu Chan got up and helped Zhang Bao, who was half-kneeling, up, he patted Zhang Bao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What the general said, why don't I know?" ”
After Liu Chan helped Zhang Bao up, he said: "After all, my father is not long in Bashu, and since Liu Yan, Shuzhong has been turbulent and strife, the local heroes and Dongzhou scholars are almost endless, and my father is a foreign strong dragon, which makes the situation in Yizhou more complicated, and when he occupied Chengdu, he promised a thousand gold, and took all the treasures, the people complained, and now there are war clouds, and the consumption of grain and grass is countless, in Chengdu, there are many people with different hearts, why don't I know?" ”
"Why is that childe?"
Zhang Bao was helped up by Liu Chan, and there was still a little consternation on his face.
"My father is on a campaign in Hanzhong, so Chengdu can't be chaotic, Shu County can't be chaotic, Yizhou can't be chaotic, and we have to continuously transport baggage supplies to Hanzhong, so as not to make the front line difficult and the generals distracted."
To say that the current Liu Bei, although he occupies Bashu, his ruling foundation is not very solid.
When Liu Bei launched the battle into Shu, "the soldiers were less than 10,000, the soldiers were not attached, Yegu was a capital, and the army had no baggage", so after this battle, Liu Bei suffered a lot of losses.
So much so that on Cao Wei's side, there were even rumors that "Liu Bei is dead".
In order to complete the battle, Liu Bei had to adopt the method of "radish and stick".
He first detained the families of the soldiers under his command, and then "painted a big pie" for them and made a promise.
"When Liu Zhang was attacked for the first time, he made an appointment with the scholars: 'If the matter is decided, the treasury will be full of things, and there will be no foresight.' and pull out Chengdu, the scholars are all willing to fight, go to the treasures to compete for treasures. ”
However, Liu Bei soon discovered that the amount of materials in the city's treasury was not enough to distribute the rewards to his soldiers.
In order to fill this "gap", Liu Bei had to take more gold and silver from the city, which naturally touched the interests of the locals.
Even if the grain and silk looted by the soldiers are returned later, will the people of Chengdu and Haoqiang thank you?
Because Liu Bei did not think carefully in advance, after the soldiers robbed the warehouse, the army's materials were seriously insufficient, so Liu Ba made a suggestion: to make a straight hundred and five baht coins (one new coin is equal to one hundred old coins) to exploit the wealth of the people.
Then he leveled prices (inflation caused by 15 baht) and put the market under official control.
A few months later, the treasury was abundant.
Liu Bei's straight 1005 baht coin weighed 8 baht, but it could be used as a 100 5 baht coin, and the value of the coin was significantly depreciated.
This is essentially a plundering of the wealth of the people.
Moreover, in order to raise military spending, Liu Bei also introduced a series of economic policies, set up a salt mansion, set up a salt school captain, and monopolized the operation of salt and iron.
During the period of last year's drought, Liu Bei implemented a complete ban on alcohol, and those who had wine utensils at home would be punished the same as those who made wine.
Later, fortunately, Jian Yong's ingenious and funny advice was able to let those who had wine utensils be spared punishment.
However, after such a toss, the people of Yizhou are naturally very dissatisfied, the money has shrunk you, the wine is not allowed to drink, the salt and iron are also monopolized, and life is not good.
Therefore, after Cao Cao captured Hanzhong, Sima Yi and Liu Ye suggested that he take advantage of the situation to take Shu land, and the reason was: "Liu Bei captured Liu Zhang by deception, and the Shu people were not attached." ”
It can be seen that although Liu Bei has obtained Yizhou, he has not yet won the support of the Shu people.
Because of this, one of Liu Bei's first tasks after entering Shu was to gain the support of the local people and wealthy families.
For example, Liu Ba, who was born in Jingzhou and has a reputation in Yizhou, refused Liu Bei's invitation many times, and also humiliated Zhang Fei, but under Zhuge Liang's persuasion, Liu Bei still ignored his previous suspicions and appointed him more; Another example is Xu Jing, this person once had his heart set on the two masters, which aroused Liu Bei's disgust, but under the suggestion of Fazheng, Xu Jing was still entrusted with a high-ranking official.
Even at that time, Liu Bei married Wu Yi's sister.
At first, Wu Yi's sister was the wife of Liu Zhang's third brother Liu Mao, and later Liu Mao died.
Liu Bei believed that he was of the same clan as Liu Mao, and it was against the law of etiquette to turn his wife into his wife.
Fa Zheng thought that Duke Wen of Jin also married his nephew Huai Gong's wife, Huai Ying.
So Liu Bei married Mrs. Wu.
Huai Ying's marriage to Duke Wen of Jin was actually a political marriage between the Qin State and the Jin State, and Liu Bei wanted to completely reassure Wu Yi and other Liu Zhang's old subordinates through marriage, which was naturally also a political marriage.
In order to win people's hearts, Liu Bei was even willing to sacrifice himself.
But even so, the hearts of the people of Yizhou are still not completely attached.
For example, the powerful Ma Qin Gaosheng and others in Shuzhong, I don't know how many, like those who did not rebel, such as Changyu, a native of Shu County, protested through Wei Wei, and said many prophecies that were not conducive to unity, plus many people believed in his words, which made people's hearts even more scattered.
The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to bring!
Later, Liu Bei was able to stabilize Yizhou and give Shu Han forty-three years of national glory, completely because of the Battle of Hanzhong, Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army, the Megatron of China, and the military generals such as Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Jiang Wei and others who dedicated everything to the word loyalty and righteousness.
For the current Liu Chan, if there are no variables in the battle of Hanzhong, it will definitely be able to win.
But if it's just like in history, then isn't he crossing in vain?
Liu Chan has a sense of urgency.
After all, Liu Bei won the battle of Hanzhong this year, and Guan Yu shocked China, but at the same time, this year is also the year when Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and lost Jingzhou.
Liu Chan wants to use the limited time to integrate the forces of all aspects of Yizhou and cultivate his own forces, so as to gain the ability to change the course of history!
This year, Yan Han is unparalleled, but it is full of dangers.
Opportunities and crises coexist, and since he has crossed over, he naturally wants to change this outcome.
Boss Cao, go with peace of mind!
I'll take your bronze bird's platform.
Cao Pi Xiaoer, your wife is good.
Your wife and I raise it!
As for Sun 100,000, he naturally wanted to welcome his stepmother Sun Shangxiang back, after all, the land of Jiangdong was the dowry of his stepmother!
The world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, as for the Sima family, it will definitely go aside.
