Chapter 2879: Overt promotion and covert surrender to seize troops
Liu Yu said with a smile: "How can the combat methods that have been practiced for several years and more than ten years change at any time? I don't have to think about changes. However, if the Jingzhou soldiers have made meritorious deeds, in the future, as long as their land is sealed,
The land of Wu, Jiangbei, and even Jingzhou are mostly separated from the land of Beifu soldiers, and they will slowly merge together. The so-called separation of Jingzhou is mostly due to long-term isolation. What I have to do is to break it.
This isolation.”
Liu Muzhi curled up his lips: "Now there are many militaries from all over the country joining your army. In the past, the training of the Beifu army was to a unified standard, and even the equipment was unified. However, this situation has changed. Wu's light soldiers,
Jingchu swordsmen and archers are very different from the old Beifu army. Should you consider unifying the military system and setting up the same military officials for training and command?"
Liu Yu frowned slightly: "There is no need for this for the time being, because they also joined as an organic group at that time, and they joined under the leadership of their respective military generals. It was with this in mind that we retained the original
The establishment has not been changed, and if we change it rashly now, we are suspected of annexing other people's tribes. Since I said that we are all soldiers of the Jin Dynasty, regardless of the old Beifu, Chu army, or Wu army, then don't follow the truth."
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "But if you want to take full power in the future and realize your ideals, you must have an army that is completely obedient to your orders. Unification of orders is not the most important thing. What is important is whether these generals who lead the troops are...
Completely loyal to you. Even if you take away their military power and send others to control their current troops, will they still obey your orders?"
Liu Yu nodded: "I believe that most of the brothers who accompanied me on this expedition will be like this. Especially the junior generals, they still respect and recognize me very much, but Changmin and Afan..."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu frowned slightly and stopped talking.
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "I won't say anything about Liu Fan. He has always been Xi Le's younger brother and deputy general, just like the relationship between Dao Gui and you. As for Changmin, he actually doesn't value military power so much. You can promote him
If he is a high-ranking official and is allowed to take charge in the court, it is best to give him the position of governor of the Wu region and the position of internal history, so that he can take up the post and make money for himself. Then I think Zhuge Changmin will be very happy to hand it over.
The troops you have now are ready to serve as state and county officials."
Liu Yu sighed: "You and I both know that the long-term residents are greedy. In the past, when we were on the border like Beiqingzhou, we raided many border residents, and we never stopped filing memorials to impeach him. If we hadn't seen him as a
Elder Jianyi, a long-time brother, I have long ago punished him according to the national law and thrown him into the land of Wu. Wouldn’t that have caused suffering to the people of the land of Wu?”
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Which is the lesser of two evils. Let him lead the troops. No matter where he is stationed, it will harm the local people. But if you rashly seize his military power without giving him an official position, people will say you are heartless."
, not to mention, Daolian is not much better than Changmin in this aspect."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "It was you who suggested to me to use our own people to control the provinces and counties. Now I regret listening to your suggestion. Dao Lian is stupid and greedy, and was bewitched by the villains around him.
The place where I am is ruthlessly expropriating, and even my reputation will be ruined by him!"
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "But if you had not placed Dao Lian as the internal historian of Pengcheng and the governor of Xuzhou, the power of the six counties in Jiangbei would have fallen into the hands of the noble families. Dao Lian was just
You are greedy for money, but if you let a big family control Jiangbei, you will never get it back. Now that you have captured Qingzhou, you can take the opportunity to make personnel adjustments. If necessary, you can also let Daolian return to the court.
He is a sinecure, a wealthy man, and gives the post of internal history of Pengcheng and governor of Xuzhou to Zhuge Changmin."
"Now that Jiangbei is a safe place, it will inevitably lead to competition from various forces. Zhuge Changmin will definitely collect bribes from many parties to line his own pockets. Bribing the high-ranking members of his family may not get the results he wants. Once he is not satisfied
, will definitely impeach him, and then we will have a reason to remove him. In this way, Changmin's army will be under your control, and he can no longer harm one party, which will not harm the peace and solve the trouble.
Isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
A hint of helplessness flashed across Liu Yu's face: "Having said that, isn't it bad to plot against my Jianyi brothers who have been together for many years? Isn't there any other way?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Drinking from a golden cup together, not showing mercy with a bare sword, this is what the master does. Even if we are brothers, giving you the title and official position you deserve according to your merits does not mean that you are allowed to override the laws of the country."
Above, if Zhuge Changmin can abide by the law and fulfill his duties as a person who oppresses the people, then he is also a governor and the governor of a large state. But if he is an official just to enrich himself and his family, then he should be dismissed from office and reduced in rank. What do you think about Liu Dao?
If Lian handles it this way, then he can justly handle Zhuge Changmin. No one will think it's wrong."
Liu Yu nodded: "We will discuss this matter after the battle is over. Zhuge Changmin's troops are also his old troops who have followed him for many years. Many of them are the fierce bandits during Liu Laozhi's period. Because he allowed plunder after the battle, they have been there
In the army, but if I take this army back, it will definitely not be allowed to be the same as before. Then I am afraid that most people will choose to disarm and return to the fields after receiving rewards and titles."
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "Isn't this better than these people falling into the hands of other generals who don't deal with you, and using them to become your enemy in the future? If you really want these people to leave the army, it is best to enfeoff them.
In different areas, from Jingzhou to Qingzhou, from Wudi to Jiangzhou, the land is distributed separately to prevent them from forming a joint force."
Liu Yu sighed: "I have never thought that one day I would treat my own soldiers like this. Fatty, are you just talking about this to prevent the generals in the army from forming their own forces and disobeying my orders?
"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "If you don't want to go to the Northern Expedition, but just want to defend the city, and just want to keep the wealth with your former Beifu brothers, then naturally you don't have to do this. But the situation now is different from before. There are Tiandao Alliance and A noble family, there are Xi Le competing with you inside Beifu, and there are barbarians from the north outside. If you want to create a great cause, and be able to maintain it in the future, without people destroying the government, you must first ensure that you have great power, and this great power , To put it bluntly, it is the military power of the world. If the army does not obey your orders, your power will not be stable. Therefore, these things must be done."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "You just mentioned Shen Tianzi, Wang Zhene, and even the Zhu Lingshi brothers. They are not as accomplished veterans as Changmin, but are still young generals on the rise. Do I want to take away their power too?" Troops?"
