Chapter 1525: Split Beifu to seek checks and balances
Sima Yao opened his eyes wide, looked at Liu Yu in the field, and said in surprise: "You mean, before Liu Yu went on the field to fight, he decided to do things for me to reduce the power and wealth of those aristocratic families?"
Zhi Miaoyin said sternly: "Liu Yu's several Northern Expedition efforts failed because of the obstruction of the family behind him. He is a soldier, not an official, and cannot raise food and grass by himself. Since he no longer trusts the family, he can only pin his hopes on it."
On Your Majesty's part. I want to make it clear to Your Majesty and the people of the world that the land and population in this world are occupied by aristocratic families. I want Your Majesty to order a thorough investigation and take back the land deeds granted by the founding emperor, so that these places can be returned to the state.
, when the time comes, your majesty will no longer be able to give the recovered land to the major families, but will distribute it to the people, or give part of the rewards to meritorious soldiers. In this way, Liu Yu will win the hearts of the soldiers in the north, and your majesty can also win the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
If we want to make great achievements in the Northern Expedition at that time, it is all a matter of your order."
Sima Yao frowned: "But if Liu Yu really leads the Beifu Army to take back the land of the family, then even if I get the land in name, and then reward it to the people and the soldiers of the Beifu Army, will these people be grateful to me, or will they
Thank you Liu Yu? If I in turn let Liu Yu win people's hearts, it would be a big trouble."
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Liu Yu's goal is not in the south of the Yangtze River. He has no intention of competing with you for the hearts and minds of the people here. Everything he did was just for the Northern Expedition. If the northern land is conquered by then, then you
You can continue to nationalize it to resettle the people in the north. You will have more and more people, and you will have more and more soldiers and food to collect. These are what Liu Yu wants."
Sima Yao nodded: "So, letting Liu Yu take over the land of aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River and return it to national ownership is the only way to carry out the Northern Expedition, and it is also a place where Liu Yu and I can cooperate?"
Zhi Miaoyin nodded: "Yes, no matter how much you fight with King Kuaiji, you are just choosing the aristocratic families on both sides. In the end, the world will still be aristocratic families. But if Your Majesty is willing to support Liu Yu to reclaim the land and destroy it,
That is to use emerging forces among the common people to replace the high-ranking families that have controlled the Jin Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. In order to make achievements, these emerging forces will also resolutely launch the Northern Expedition. When the time comes, they will lead this force to the north.
Go and seize the land where the barbarians live, and your majesty does not have to worry about losing power again. After all, Liu Yu is only in the army and not in power, so you have plenty of ways to deal with it."
Sima Yao smiled and said: "I feel very relieved to hear Miaoyin say this. However, in this way, Liu Yu still has the possibility of becoming emperor. Since ancient times, only when the soldiers and horses are strong can he become the emperor. At that time, the great families used this parry to evade the Yuan Emperor.
Even if Liu Yu has no different intentions, there is no guarantee that the people who follow him will do the same. If the Northern Expedition succeeds, and the leaders of the Beifu Army guard one side, what will happen if there are a few people like Huan Wen?
?”
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "This is the third reason why I want to advise your Majesty. If your Majesty really orders Liu Yu to be killed today, or takes him down and convicts him, then the Beifu Army will no longer be owned by your Majesty. On the contrary,
If Liu Yu survives, then His Majesty can use various means to divide and disintegrate the Beifu Army, and Liu Yu can use brotherhood to unite everyone, but in the face of interests, not everyone will be as pure as him."
Sima Yao's heart moved: "What do you mean?"
Zhi Miaoyin looked at the stands opposite, pointed at Liu Laozhi who was still sitting upright, and said with a smile: "The first one who dissatisfied with Liu Yu is Liu Laozhi. His qualifications [.] are older than Liu Yu's.
He has more military exploits than him, and has even been his superior, but now it is Liu Yu who steals the spotlight. A former officer without military rank has more military morale than the current Beifu chief general. Liu Laozhi will never allow it.
If you ask Liu Laozhi to handle the matter of soil destruction, he will probably not dare to really raise the butcher knife to the wealthy family. He will probably do it in disguise. Just think, but Liu Yu really knows how to do this. So, you use Liu
Yu, don't use Liu Laozhi and let Liu Yu blame the aristocratic families. These aristocratic families who have suffered losses will turn to support Liu Laozhi and fight against him in the army. In this way, you don't have to worry about Liu Yu monopolizing the military power of Beifu and forming a big tail.
Threatened."
Sima Yao murmured: "That makes sense. The reason why the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty gave the wealthy families an excuse at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China was because these families were in the same spirit and had the same interests. However, Liu Laozhi and Liu Yu were not from the same group, but they could be restrained.
.It’s just that Liu Laozhi is a generation older than Liu Yu, and is the generation of his father’s generation. But these few times I have seen Liu Yu’s brothers, most of them are rising stars of similar age to him. Liu Laozhi can really control these.
Young people, do you want them to follow you?"
Zhi Miaoyin said sternly: "Liu Yu can let these brothers die for him because he and these people have gone through life and death on the battlefield, and more importantly, he can win benefits for these people, so that these guys who are originally refugees and tenant farmers can all
In the past few years when Liu Yu was away, these people had no chance to get ahead in the Beifu army and had no chance to make contributions. Therefore, when Liu Yu returned, he regarded them as saviors and was even willing to give up his military position and follow Liu Yu.
Yu went to Luoyang to fight and asked for orders in the fighting field. Brotherhood is one aspect, but the fact that Liu Yu can give them real benefits is another aspect."
"But Liu Yu is not the only one in the Beifu army who can benefit them. In addition to veteran generals like Liu Laozhi, this one is also someone who can rival Liu Yu in the army in the future," Zhi Miaoyin said.
When he reached this point, he pointed with his hand. On the other side of the stand, Liu Yi, who was kneeling to beg for his life, suddenly fell into Sima Yao's eyes.
Sima Yao nodded: "Liu Yi has always been dissatisfied with Liu Yu, and I have heard about this. What do you mean, do you want me to win over Liu Yi? But he is very close to those high-ranking families, and he is willing to do it for me.
Used?"
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "No, as long as your majesty gives Liu Yu favors, Liu Yi will naturally be jealous. He has always thought that his talents are not inferior to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu can surpass him with the help of noble people. You let
If Liu Yu takes away the land of the aristocratic family and then rewards it, Liu Yi will secretly collude with the nobles of the aristocratic family to develop his own power in the army to restrain Liu Yu. In this way, Liu Laozhi and Liu Yi will become a constraint for Liu Yu
resistance, so that he cannot control the army alone. Your Majesty only needs to adjust in the middle and maintain balance, so you don't have to worry about the Beifu Army not being used by your Majesty. On the contrary, if Liu Yu is killed today, Liu Laozhi and Liu Yi will lose their biggest competitors.
, they will only fall to the noble families and will never be used by His Majesty. Liu Yu's brothers will also be disappointed and heartbroken by Your Majesty. It is unwise to abandon a strong army like this. With these three reasons, Your Majesty can you decide?
