Chapter 1,246 Athletes go north to conquer the world
Liu Yu nodded and looked at Zhi Miaoyin's face: "Exactly, the reason why we failed before is because although the Beifu Army has unparalleled combat power, its logistics, supplies, family and children are all controlled by the family. The Xie family can
To organize this army, you can devote your own family's efforts to maintain the peacetime training of this army, but if the army really sets out, the consumption will not be supported by one family. It must be united with other families to share the burden. The Northern Expedition requires the whole country.
What can only be accomplished with one's own strength cannot be achieved without other families, which is why my husband had no choice but to compromise and cooperate with other mafia families in the end."
Zhi Miaoyin frowned: "Do you want to rebuild the Beifu Army, and you want to have your own territory, be self-sufficient, and survive independently without relying on other aristocratic families?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "That's the point, Miaoyin, do you think this is feasible?"
The corner of Wang Miaoyin's mouth curled up: "The idea is very bold, but with all due respect, it is difficult and basically impossible. The world of Jin Dynasty has been divided up by major families for hundreds of years, not only what we see now
There are several big aristocratic families, and many small and medium-sized aristocratic families. Their properties may not even be their own. Instead, they are under the names of some big families and are run and managed by their subordinates. Therefore, even our thanks
None of the families is the most powerful, and they are far less powerful than they appear to be!"
Liu Yu took a breath of air: "You say that, the Xie family is not the largest family?"
Wang Miaoyin nodded: "I know the situation of the Xie family best. On the surface, the nephews and nephews of the Xie family are running properties all over Wu. But most of these properties and estates are not unique to the Xie family. We really own them.
It is just the ancestral home of Shining Villa. Many other manors and fields are the property of other families. When the Xian Gong came to power, they were in his name and were lent to me, the nephew of the Xie family, to manage and manage them. Once the Xie family
When the power is gone, these properties will be taken back and given to other families. Just like now, the reason why Wang Guobao is so powerful is that many properties and manors were transferred to my Xie family because of my husband.
Now it belongs to his royal family."
Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully and said: "I see, but doesn't the Jin Dynasty have a clear national law that prohibits the transfer and sale of land? How can it be occupied by others so easily?"
Zhi Miaoyin sneered: "The national law of the Jin Dynasty also stipulates that the emperor has supreme power on behalf of the herdsmen, but in reality? The Jin Dynasty stipulates that land cannot be bought and sold, but the corresponding land can be granted according to the rank of the official, and the slaves
, there is a corresponding upper limit for maidservants, so as long as you have power and can let people in the family serve as officials or join the army and gain titles, you can openly and legitimately take possession of the land that belongs to the country. "
Liu Yu nodded: "I see. No wonder the imperial court has no control over the land in Wu in the south of the Yangtze River. They are all manors of various aristocratic families, and the villagers and tenants on these manors have to use other identities to identify themselves."
A color booklet to record."
Zhi Miaoyin sighed: "So, the world of the Jin Dynasty is a world of aristocratic families, not a world of royal families. The emperor has a false reputation, but he has almost nothing. Whether it is soldiers, horses, money or food, they are all controlled by aristocratic families. Over the years, the emperor has
He tried to support Huan Wen and let him occupy the outer vassal state of Jingzhou to suppress the major families in Jiangdong. However, he did not expect that Huan Wen was more ambitious than those families and directly wanted to replace the Sima family. This provoked a joint counterattack by the Jiangdong families.
, finally stopped his ambition to ascend the throne, but now Jingzhou has been managed by the Huan family for decades and has become an independent kingdom. However, it is not the aristocratic family that controls the land, population, and wealth of Jingzhou, but the Huan family and his old tribe.
.”
Liu Yu nodded: "So, it is impossible for the two major areas of Jingyang and Yang to be used by the Beifu Army and become their base for providing military food and supplies?"
Zhi Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, either you cooperate with the mafia and can persuade them to support your Northern Expedition, otherwise Yangzhou is out of the question. As for Jingzhou, the Huan family has been in business for decades and has long since become an independent kingdom. Even now, the Huan family has
No one controls the family, but no one who serves as governor there can control the manpower and material resources of Jingzhou. Unless you can make Huan Xuan obey you, don't even think about it. Even the mafia has no hope of controlling Jingzhou."
Liu Yu nodded: "So, I will leave Huan Xuan to contain the mafia now, while I go find a new territory for the Beifu Army. This territory is the newly restored land of the Central Plains."
Zhi Miaoyin's face changed: "What did you say? You want to find a new land as your future base? Brother Yu, your idea is very bold, but with all due respect, this is impossible."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Why is it impossible? It depends on man-made things. There are large areas of newly recovered areas in the Central Plains and Qilu, and large areas of barren fields. These ownerless lands can recruit refugees for farming."
Zhi Miaoyin shook her head: "These places are the land of the imperial court, not unclaimed land. It does not mean that if you take the Beifu Army brothers there, it will belong to you."
Liu Yu said seriously: "My brothers have military exploits, civil titles, and can have their own land. If we hand over the land in Jingkou in exchange for the territory in the newly attached area in the north, does the emperor have a reason to refuse? The family has a reason to refuse.
?”
Zhi Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu motionless for a long time before sighing: "You asked your brothers to give up their homes and fields that are within easy reach and go to the dangerous border areas. They have to be on guard every day, facing the barbarians coming at any time."
Guilty, how many people will follow you?"
Liu Yu sighed: "It is true that there are not many, but real men and real soldiers will take this path, because what you see in your eyes is danger, but in the eyes of men who are aspiring to the world, they are opportunities."
, this time I returned to Jingkou, and what I saw in the eyes of those young people was desire, full of urgency to fight. They wanted to prove themselves too much, and they were never willing to rely on the merits of their father and brother to live comfortably in Jingkou.
, since these people are willing to follow me to the north, then I have the confidence to let them settle in the north!"
Zhi Miaoyin curled up her lips: "Brother Yu, you are a born leader. I don't doubt that you have the ability to ask your brothers to follow you, but have you ever thought about it? Your desire to carve out a world in the north is the biggest
Where is the resistance? Is it the barbarian Zhai Ding Ling from the north, the rebel general Zhang Yuan from Qingzhou? The fugitive former Qin Emperor Fu Pi? Or the two heroes of the Yan Kingdom entrenched in the north? Neither, your biggest resistance is still behind you.
, from that huge invisible and intangible shadow, the Mafia!"
