Chapter 2318: There Is Seed and There Is No Seed, There Is Wrong and Right
While Feiqian was clearing out the barbarians around the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao also won a victory over the Ding Ling people, ending a phased battle and achieving fruitful results.
For most counties that are not border areas, it has entered a relatively busy and joyful time. After all, for the farming people, Zhuanghe this year seems to be going smoothly, even if a small area is affected by the epidemic. Even if there is a disaster, it is still within the acceptable range.
For a time, the joy of harvest diluted many mutual sorrows and worries, and the troubles of war and plague seemed to be far away from the life scope of the gentry children.
For man-made disasters, gentry children can sometimes be exempted by relying on their status. Even if they encounter thieves and bandits, sometimes they can just use someone's name to save their lives. However, in the face of famine and plague, gentry children The identity of a person is of no use at all, and famine and plague will never favor a person because of his or her identity.
Over the years, many wealthy noble families have withered away and only a few people are left...
Even the entire clan was wiped out.
The children of the aristocratic family are like this, so how can the ordinary people below be better off?
Therefore, people in Jizhou, Yuzhou and other areas, whether they are nobles or common people, feel that the current peace, which may even be just a short respite, is hard-won. Of course, for ordinary people, the focus is more on things. For example, harvesting three or five bushels more from the fields will be enough. But for the children of the gentry, what they focus on is still power, or they may cover up one or two things and say that It is a personal or family business.
In troubled times, the more chaotic it is, the more opportunities there are for extraordinary advancement.
On the contrary, well...
In history, it would be okay if these gentry children met monarchs who were willing to explore talents, such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Even if they could not hold an official position in the court, they could still occupy a county position. However, if they met that kind of If you are not invited even once, you will be in bad luck if you fall out. For example, Tao Qian conquered Zhang Zhao...
Policies in various places have various uncertain factors depending on the people in charge, which also leads to various interpretations and extensions when these nobles choose and judge the princes in various places.
In the current chaos, the examination system, talent ladder system, new land administration system, new tax rate business model and other new systems and concepts brought by Fei Qian, who is entrenched in Chang'an, are just like It was like a surging wave, hitting the hearts of the Shandong nobles one after another.
Discussion and discussion are inevitable.
"I believe that the Hussars General's many new policies, except for the trade policy, are all urgent measures in the midst of chaos. They will not last long, and in the long run... they will lead to chaos! 』
In Yingchuan, on the side of Yingshui, there is a winery that only accepts the children of the noble family. Because the surrounding situation is calm, it is gradually becoming lively. The children wearing long robes and wide sleeves are shaking gold-painted fans and drinking incense. Nang, sit in a circle, talk loudly, and point out the country.
"The words of a single step... haha, maybe it was taken lightly... Not to mention that the Hussar General is in charge of the West Platform, and the order is as above. It is obvious that the Hussar General has been concentrating on the outline for a long time and has been prepared for a long time... It seems that he is determined to implement the New Deal, even more What's more, the three assistants in Guanzhong have been under the new policy for a long time. Instead of seeing chaos, they have shown their prosperity. Therefore, they don't know where to start talking about the inevitable chaos? 』
"Brother, I guess you support the new strategy of the Hussars?" 』
"We can't even talk about support. It's just that rocks from other mountains can attack jade. If there is something to be gained, why should we be afraid and keep it secret?" 』
"In this case...it is said that the hussar strategy will not last long, not because of the serious harm, but because of changes." Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and local government orders are inconsistent. This is a temporary emergency. If there is peace in the world, these laws will definitely be difficult to maintain and will definitely be changed! 』
"Oh, I'd like to hear the details... I'm Runan Yingyu Ying Zijin, I haven't asked my brother Gao's name yet..."
"Jiang Qian, Jiang Ziyi from Jiujiang..."
"I have met Brother Jiang..."
Several people greeted each other again, and then confirmed their respective family status, just like the young men in the courtyard in later generations reported each other's family status to each other to see what their father and grandfather's positions were.
"My dad is a captain!" Where is your dad? 』
"My father is a major!" Come on, just follow me! I'll cover you! 』
"well! become! 』
Generally similar to this.
Jiang Gan's tongue was quite good. After chatting happily, he returned to the topic, "Looking at the new strategies of the Qiusi, there are endless ones, but there are only three... One is to invade large households and liquidate acres of land." , Farming increases production. Second, abandon clear discussion, take exams lightly, and select scholars based on their talents. Third, the promotion of education, flourishing industry and commerce, strong weapons and armor... I wonder if you think so? 』
Everyone thought for a while and seemed to agree, and nodded in agreement one after another.
"There is no need to elaborate on the disadvantages of invading large households, clearing out acres of land, and cultivating fields to increase production..." Jiang Gan said lazily, "Actually, the Husband's field policy is based on the wisdom of his predecessors." The big houses in various places have invaded the people's land so much that the people have no place to live, and they are living as thieves, and bandits have gathered... Just like in the time of Wang Mang, the people had no place to stand, and the red eyebrows and green forests were all gone. Later, Guangwu controlled the world and implemented the policy of consolidating the fields. How similar is it to today? Cavalry General Tian Ce is nothing more than this. It is the old method of Guangwu with a slight innovation, which is not surprising..."
Jiang Qian was originally a person who was good at talking about things. He spoke a lot of things in a eloquent manner, and everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, thinking that what Jiang Qian said seemed to be the same thing.
"As for the method of riding examinations and the strategy of selecting scholars based on their talents, they have been in place for a long time..." Jiang Gan shook his head and said, "When Taixue was first established, there were examinations, and there were rankings in the Mingtang. This strategy It started from the ancestors and flourished under the Ming Emperor... In the past, in Luoyang, the scholars of Taixue also studied for Ph.D., set up science and shooting strategies, and became officials after passing the exams, and even recommended officials from various places. When they arrived in Kyoto, they also Let's try it... This is the old method, not the original creation of Hussar. 』
What Jiang Gan meant was that this new strategy of the hussar was not a pioneering work of the hussar anyway, so what's so novel about it?
Everyone was immediately stunned, and then they couldn't help but frown in thought. In fact, as Jiang Gan said, there were already some examination systems in the Han Dynasty, but most of the time these examination systems were just a formality, but now Jiang Gan said these Even the predecessor of the system of hussar examinations to select talents seems to have some truth.
"As for industrial and commercial weapons..." Jiang Gan smiled, "I can only say that the Hussar is better at craftsmanship and has the skills of Guan Zhong..."
People around him smiled knowingly.
Suddenly, the clubhouse, uh, winery was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
But after laughing, Runan Yingyu still remembered Jiang Qian's words just now, and asked: "So, Brother Jiang said that the husband's methods are mostly old practices. There are traces to follow, so why can't they last forever?" 』
"Haha, even a three-year-old child knows this kind of flaw..." Jiang Qian laughed and ignored Runan Yingyu's slightly discolored face. Anyway, the Runan Ying family is too young and they have never heard of it. , it’s like a colonel in the courtyard laughing at a lieutenant, so what?
"In the past, the policy of spreading military power to conquer the fields did not allow the law to go out of Heluo, and the law did not reach the countryside. Within three years, all the counties and counties in the world rebelled against it. The ministers of the court, the three public officials and the nine ministers were extremely evil. The families in the counties and counties, the countryside, There is nothing wrong with such a big family..." Jiang Gan shook his head and said, "The strategy of expanding the fields is unpopular, how can it last long? It should be noted that if the three assistants of Chang'an, east of Heluo River and north of Shangjun, were invaded by barbarians or killed by Dong's thieves, and as a result, seven or eight acres of cultivated land were lost in ten stops, how could the Hussar be able to do this? 』
"In Hebei and Yu, every place has its own people. If the court orders them to save them at this time, is it okay?" 』
After Jiang Gan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Seeing this, Jiang Qian became even more talkative and shook his head triumphantly, "What's more, riding in the Academy of Pingyang, the method of recruiting talents, although it can be used for a short period of time, it cannot last long... It should be noted that the emperor of this dynasty Learning is not ruined by the court, but ruined by the eunuchs! In the past, there were also eunuchs who caused harm to the academic community in Hongdu! Nowadays, the Hussar Academy is flourishing, which is no problem. However, as time goes by, many changes will inevitably occur. Although the Hussar has no worries about eunuchs, it still has the hindrance of relatives. If it is not used properly, even if Hongdu prospers for a while, it will surely be ruined. Does it matter? 』
Everyone was suddenly enlightened and started talking one after another. It seemed that what Jiang Gan said made some sense.
"If Ziyi's words and Qiaoqi's strategy are all wrong, then there is no correct strategy?" 』
"That's not the case..." Jiang Gan laughed, "I'm just saying that this hussar's strategy is just an old method. There is nothing new about it, so it's not something to be afraid of!" What's more, the world is so vast, can the road between mountains and rivers be used? Can a small policy be adopted all over the world? Is it possible for the three assistants in Guanzhong to get between Hebei and Henan? Therefore, if we say that the hussar strategy is wrong, it is correct. If we say that it is right, it is also wrong..."
Jiang Gan shook his head and said what was wrong and what was right, like a tongue twister, causing everyone around him to laugh again.
"I heard that Jiang Ziyi from Jiujiang was the only one in Jianghuai in terms of talent. Now I hear it, it is indeed insightful!" ” someone praised.
"Don't you dare, please show your love..." Jiang Qian pretended to be humble and bowed his hands, "I am honored to be able to discuss this with all the great sages..."
Under the mutual flattery, everyone laughed together, and the colorful sedan chairs were carried to each other, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
The drinking order started and the dancer started dancing.
There is a lot of noise, and it seems that everything can be prosperous forever...
In some respects, as Jiang Gan said, the strategy of the Cavalry General is also similar to some old systems in some aspects. This is also when the Cavalry General Fei Qian implemented the new strategy. , which is why it can be accepted by the gentry system to some extent. However, Jiang Qian's words were completely limited by his knowledge and failed to penetrate the essence. In other words, he ignored that policy is never one-sided or metaphysical, but is intertwined and influenced by each other.
Of course, it’s natural that Jiang Qian couldn’t understand or didn’t pay attention. Historically, starting from the end of the Han Dynasty, the political system of the Han Dynasty had come to an end. Then, after the chaos of the Five Hus and the Chinese, a new one was found in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. system to replace...
Social and economic development and morphological changes inevitably require a new system and new changes. However, for Jiang Gan and others, they still seek methods and methods in the old books, and then think they understand and criticize the new strategies. He is judgemental and thinks he is good.
It’s not that these people don’t know that times have changed, but they choose to only listen to a little, watch a little, and then be satisfied with themselves, and add that they can still repaint the places that have begun to rot and become exposed. Eat, drink, be merry...
……(?▽?)/……
"Princes and generals should be content with each other." This sentence has been recognized by many people since the day it was born. It has even been regarded as a motto. From time to time, it is mentioned and recited, but the problem is that it is useless to just think about it. , need to actually do it.
Beigong obviously believed in this sentence at one time, but now he finally knows that he is indeed "unkind".
And he didn't dare admit it.
It's pleasurable when you shout, but painful when you do it. Just like you feel happy when you watch pirated goods, and then you feel angry when you receive counterfeit money. This world is not a kind-hearted person in the first place, and all free gifts actually have prices secretly marked on them.
The winner takes all, whether they are Han or Hu, the winner is qualified to write history, and the loser, well...
Beigong didn't want to admit defeat, nor was he willing to be a loser, so he still wanted to try again. At this time, Jia Xu's early strategy came into effect. To the northwest were reinforcements from the Western Regions such as Gao Wutong, and to the east were encirclement by Zhang Liao and Tai Shici. Beigong, who had been cut off from his retreat, could only flee. Entering the Qilian Mountains, I want to borrow chickens to lay eggs.
The sporadic rain in the mountains stopped, and Beigong looked at the mountains with an expression that was indescribable. After entering Chatiaozigou, Zhangye could no longer be seen, nor could he see the land of Xihe Longyou that he was originally familiar with. Everything was obscured by the hard mountain.
Fortunately, there are some Qiang people and some tribal people around Beigong. Although their faces are inevitably a little ugly, they still follow Beigong...
To be honest, in the battle under Zhangye City, only less than 10% of the total Qiang people died directly. The rest died or were captured on the way to escape, and at least about 50% of the Qiang people fled. Well, it was these Qiang people who fled in disorder that gave Beigong some time to move around.
Catching chickens and dogs requires a lot of effort in such a small fenced shack, let alone catching these fleeing Qiang tribes?
Although both ends are blocked, it will still take a certain amount of time to completely calm down and clean up, and this time has become Beigong's only hope at the moment.
If we can bring reinforcements and break the siege of Han soldiers, then Beigong will still be Beigong!
If not...
Then it's a pile of mud!
Even the bones will rot in the mud!
The time left for Beigong is getting tighter and tighter. If he doesn't hurry up, maybe even if Beigong recruits reinforcements, the Qiang people in Longyou, Longxi, will surrender one after another. Why are they still resisting?
"I only regret that I couldn't capture Zhangye earlier!" 』
Beigong regretted it quite a bit. After all, he had been at a standstill under Zhangye for two or three days. If he had attacked earlier, or even attacked the city overnight, Zhangye might have been captured, and the battle situation might have changed!
It's just a pity that everything is what if...
After Beigong took a deep breath, he stepped forward in the muddy water, "God is above!" Yoshiko's descendants will not be defeated so easily! A momentary failure is nothing, even the best hunter will get injured sometimes! When we find reinforcements, we can conquer Longyou again and sacrifice the heads of those damn Han people to the gods! To Yoshiko! To our dead brothers! 』
After saying that, Beigong stood up and mounted his horse.
"We will definitely come back!" 』
Beigong read the Big Bad Wolf's lines loudly and raised his head, just as he thought back then, he was not wrong, it was the Han people and the whole world who were wrong!
Then Beigong led people on a path destined to fail.
Not long after Beigong was heading towards the Qilian Mountain pasture, they encountered the so-called Qiang "reinforcements" running out from the Qilian Mountain pasture...
After a meeting, almost both sides felt cold, and there was no joy at all in joining forces.
Even if his face is swollen to appear fat, the clothes and unavoidable scars on his body still make it easy to tell whether the fat man is really fat or has been swollen.
The world that Bei Gong insisted on maintaining began to collapse.
Together with the image of Beigong...
The foundation built bit by bit by his father, his grandfather, and the previous generation Beigong began to collapse.
Beigong's gilded name began to fade, revealing its muddy undertones.
Beigong also noticed this. He almost instinctively summoned the remaining Qiang-headed people, tried his best to draw a big pie and win over people's hearts, trying to pick up the scattered things, repaint them, and unite them again...
At first, it seemed to have some effect.
After all, these Qiang leaders were afraid of the Han soldiers and still hoped that Beigong would be the one to withstand the thunder, so they still maintained their superficial respect and obedience to Beigong. However, when these Qiang leaders discovered Beigong could not come up with any effective strategy other than drawing big cakes, and the Han people on both sides of the Qilian Mountains did not seem to want to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress them. It seemed that they just wanted to block the entrance to the Qilian Mountains and that would be it. .
The Qiang people naturally panicked.
I have a bad appetite. This painted pie looks good, but I can’t digest it...
There is nothing wrong with having grasslands in the Qilian Mountains, and it is also a good place, but it does not mean that the aborigines in the Qilian Mountains grasslands like and welcome these Qiang people to stay for a long time, and have a tendency to become the owners of the grasslands instead.
It's like building a house with hard work, and then some relatives in need come to stay for a while. It's okay to entertain them with food and drinks, which is also the proper etiquette. But when you see these relatives living there, you won't leave. Then not only did they continue to eat, drink, and eat, they even prepared to change the name of the house to the names of these relatives...
Who can bear this?
If the Han are pressing forward step by step, Beigong still has some effect. After all, the Qiang leader also knows that a piece of loose sand can't do much, and it can't fight the Han. There must be a leader, but now the Han people don't seem to have the intention to kill them all. , so for these Qiang people, Beigong, the so-called leader, seems to have become a burden...
A question began to arise in the minds of many Qiang people: How useful is it for Beigong to listen to him?
Ever since, a strange atmosphere began to flow in the Qilian Mountain pastures, especially after it was discovered that someone was secretly in contact with the Han people outside the mountain, everything became chaotic...
