Fu Rong burst out laughing suddenly, his voice was so loud that it shook the hall. The dust on the roof beams that had not been decorated for many years suddenly fell. Even Fu Jian's body was stained with dust.
Aged gray.
Fu Jian stretched out his hand to dust off his body and said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Yang Ping, what's so ridiculous? This is above the main hall. As an important minister, you should behave like an important minister."
Fu Rong stopped smiling and bowed solemnly: "King of Heaven, it's not that my brother is being arrogant here, but General Yao's words really make people laugh. I hope you will forgive me for those who have offended me."
Yao Chang smiled and cupped his hands: "Mr. Yang Ping, I don't know what is so funny about what the general said. Please tell me something."
A look of disdain flashed across Fu Rong's face: "I laugh at you. Although you have a lotus tongue, you have ignored a basic fact. To the people of Jin, you Qiang people are foreign barbarians, but the refugees in Huaibei are.
In order to defect to the Jin Dynasty, the expatriates who did not hesitate to abandon their homes and careers and risk their lives to go south were people loyal to the Jin Dynasty. Although they settled these people in the Lianghuai area, they regarded them as their own, but for you
The Qiang people took full advantage of it. The Northern Expedition was just an excuse. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, they all deported you. Is this the same?"
Yao Chang's face was livid and his fists were clenched, but he could not argue. Murong Chui stood aside and said coldly: "Mr. Yang Ping's words are a bit too much. Back then, Yin Hao was very respectful to the Yao tribe, but...
Instead of being treated like a foreigner, you still want to become sworn brothers with Yao Xiang!"
Fu Rong laughed loudly, looked at the ministers, and said to a Hanchen who was about forty years old, of medium height and with a capable face: "Quan Pushe, tell me, what did Yin Hao think of Yao at that time?"
Brother’s?”
This Han minister's surname was Quan Mingyi. He was a descendant of Quan Zhong, the captain of Zuofu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was a native of Lueyang, Tianshui. When the world was in chaos, he served as an adviser to Yao Xiang and Yao Chang's father, Yao Yizhong. Later, after Yao Xiang's defeat, he
He also surrendered to the former Qin Dynasty with Yao Chang and was highly valued under Fu Jian. He was the official to Shangshu Zuopushe and had always been highly regarded by Wang Meng and Fu Rong. At this time, Fu Rong asked him by name, which was undoubtedly a statement of his position.
and stand in line.
Quan Yi rolled his eyes, stood out of the queue, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Pinggong is right. In those days, the emperors and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, although they were polite to the Yao tribe on the surface, they did not regard them as their own people in their hearts.
A kind of mercenary army. They used to have the refugee commanders from the Lianghuai generation to lead the troops and monitor the Yao tribe from behind. It is clear at a glance who is a relative and who is a foreigner."
Yao Chang gritted his teeth, secretly cursing Quan Yi that this guy is really a white-eyed wolf. Now that he has a new master, he will ignore the old master, but this is human nature after all. Yao Chang stood up and said calmly: "There are foreign enemies.
At that time, the kings and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty naturally regarded us Qiang people as outsiders, but if there were no Qiang people, then they would regard the Huaihuai refugee commanders as outsiders. They used the refugee commanders to defend us Qiang people, but now they still use court troops and horses.
Come to monitor and guard against the refugee army to prevent a recurrence of the Su Jun Zuyue Rebellion. There is nothing wrong with what Wei Chen just said."
Fu Rong didn't expect Yao Chang to be able to resolve his accusations so skillfully, and he was a little surprised. He originally focused all his attention on Murong Chui and somewhat ignored Yao Chang, but now he started to go up and down.
After looking at this old Qiang who was not tall and did not look powerful enough.
Fu Jian nodded with satisfaction: "What General Yao said is absolutely true. These refugees have not been allowed to cross the river by the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a long time, and they were only allowed to live in Jingkou more than ten years ago. This was because Huan Wen forcibly changed it in order to abolish the Li Li River.
After changing the previous national policy, for those aristocratic families, our northern aliens may be a distant threat, but these refugees going south can immediately seize their power and fields. After all, they crossed the river by themselves, didn't they?
Seizing the power and lands of the local Zhu, Wu, Lu, and Zhang families!"
Quan Yi said loudly: "The King of Heaven, I think that our army is now strong, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty is located in the southeast corner. The situation is critical. At this time, we can't take too much care. Most of the refugees from the Huaihe River are northern Han people who went south. They
We Han people always think about regaining lost territory and returning to our hometown. We Han people have settled down and relocated. We attach great importance to our hometown and ancestral graves. You have read poetry and books and studied Chinese studies intensively. You should know this."
Fu Jian nodded: "What you said makes sense, but the refugee army is a bandit after all. In the eyes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they are not good people. They cannot let go of these unstable and uncontrolled people."
Gu knew the psychology of the people of the Jin Dynasty very well. Those high-ranking families had no intention of the Northern Expedition. They only cared about their property in Wudi in the south of the Yangtze River. How could they have the ambition to regain the lost land? If they had such thoughts, they would have had it so many years ago.
The Northern Expedition was successful. Maybe the refugees from Huaihe and Huaihe want to fight back to their hometown, but they are alone. If the high-class family does not support it, they can only become a sword in the hands of others and cannot determine the general trend of the world!"
Fu Rong said in a deep voice: "King of Heaven, Xie An is not an ordinary high-ranking disciple. He has been in power in the court for many years and is well-respected by people. When the Shizhao Empire fell, it was his brother Xie Shang who went to the north to retrieve the jade seal.
Only then did the Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty no longer become a blank slate emperor, and the Xie family became wealthy over the years. Now I heard that Emperor Sima Yao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was suspicious of Xie An, and tried to let his younger brother Sima Daozi share his power, so Xie An
When the time comes, they will definitely follow Huan Wen's example and send Xie Xuan to lead an expedition to make great achievements and secure the power of the Xie family. Their intention for the Northern Expedition must be true, otherwise they would not have recruited refugees from the Huaihe River and Huaihe River to organize a strong force like the Beifu Army."
Yao Chang smiled slightly: "What Yang Pinggong said is very true, but the more the Xie family strengthens their power, the more they will be jealous of the emperor. If our army is pressing down, they may be able to protect themselves in the face of external forces, but now they are
Huaibei defeated our army, and Peng Chao was unable to annihilate his entire army. This crisis has been temporarily relieved, and their power struggle will definitely resume. The Northern Expedition in the Eastern Jin Dynasty has repeatedly failed for so many years. Isn't it because of internal fighting and mutual constraints?
?This time will be no exception!”
Murong Chui smiled and nodded: "General Yao said it very well. That's exactly what it is. Moreover, most of the refugee commanders have a rough background and are greedy for profit and merit. In the battle of Huai River, I heard that in order to seize the war glory, some even killed our troops.
The prisoners of war who had laid down their weapons, and in order to prevent other armies from taking credit, Xie Xuandu could only separate the armies and let them do their own thing. When they fought with the wind, they would kill the prisoners. Once the situation was unfavorable, they would sacrifice their lives to protect them.
Friendly troops?”
Fu Jian smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will be more serious than Peng Chao's internal fighting. I just abandon the friendly troops and run away."
