Chapter 515: The righteousness of family and country trumps personal love
Liu Yu took a breath of air: "I didn't expect that the Huan family would have such a plan. Can it really succeed?" At this point, he was a little worried about the Xie family.
Liu Muzhi sighed: "It's hard to say, the Langya Wang family. Since Wang Xizhi, the general of the right army, several of his sons have been high-ranking officials in the Jin Dynasty. For example, Wang Miaoyin's father, Wang Ningzhi, was an official in Kuaiji, guarding one side.
, although he did not serve in the central government, he was a powerful local faction. The Xie family held the power of the central government, while the Wang family members served as governors and internal historians in various places. They controlled the vast countryside in the Sanwu area and became the mainstay of the manor economy of these aristocratic families.
Protector, this is the true alliance between Wang Xie."
Liu Yu nodded: "I see. No wonder these northern nobles had almost nothing when they went south, but after decades, they became extremely rich. It turns out that the central and local governments combined, and they could use their hands to plunder legally. In the past,
I knew nothing about it, but now I know it. It seems that Huan Xuan is right, the world of the Jin Dynasty is not the world of the Sima family, but the empire of these aristocratic families."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "This is natural, so the previous Northern Expedition failed because these noble families were unwilling to contribute. You must know that if you want to form a large army for the Northern Expedition, you must levy soldiers and taxes from these noble families. That is a big move.
Their taboo. The success or failure of the Northern Expedition is unknown. Even if they capture Luoyang and Chang'an, there won't be many benefits for themselves. Unless they want to leave their name in history, they might as well guard their own manor with groups of child servants.
, enjoying the life of a king, general, and minister."
Liu Yu said bitterly: "Now I finally understand why, in the past hundred years, our Jin Dynasty had so many good opportunities, but could not succeed in the Northern Expedition. It seems that Huan Xuan is right, there is no such thing as a great family in the Northern Expedition."
At this point, my heart is not as strong as that of the Huan family who are trying to usurp power and seize the throne."
Liu Muzhi sighed: "As I said just now, this matter will change, and the motivation for the Northern Expedition will be the same. There are many ambitious people in the family. People like Director Wang, Wang Xizhi, and Xie Xianggong are all
They hope to make achievements in the Northern Expedition and leave a name in history. Although most people are content with the economic benefits of their family, after all, there are still many children of the aristocratic family who have feelings for their family and country. They want to clarify Yunei, otherwise, why would they have to endure hardships in the first place?
, abandoning the family business and moving south? Wouldn’t it be better to stay in the north and serve the Huru?"
Liu Yu nodded: "You are right, so we are fighting so hard to create a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition. As long as we win the decisive battle of Shouchun, as we just said, we can open the passage to the north.
, then in order to thank Xianggong for his talent and strategy, he will definitely send his troops northward and establish unparalleled achievements!"
Liu Muzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Yes, but this will conflict with most of the aristocratic families. The reason why they are willing to pay for the Ding this time is because they all know that once the powerful Qin in the north succeeds in moving south, it will be destroyed.
In the Jin Dynasty, all the manors and servants they have now will be lost. In order to protect their current interests, they can only make some temporary sacrifices to support the country. If they have money, they will have people. But once the Qin army is defeated, I
When the threat from the north of the Jin Dynasty is lifted, there is a big question mark as to whether they will continue to support the Northern Expedition."
Liu Yu's face changed: "How dare they! With Xie Xianggong here and the remaining power of this great victory, who dares not to obey? Besides, the Northern Expedition can also seize a large amount of land and population. How can you say it is not good for them?"
Woolen cloth?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Those benefits are all fictitious and may not necessarily become real. The territory acquired in the north will be occupied by local powerful people and aristocratic families in the north. These people will definitely occupy most of the territory, otherwise
If they resisted desperately, our army was struggling. The north and south have been separated for nearly a hundred years. The Han people in the north no longer regarded our Jin army as the king's division. When Zu Ti went on the Northern Expedition, no one came to greet them, so we could only rely on various means.
Winning over the local Wubao masters, now sixty or seventy years have passed since then, and the Han people in the North have no feelings for us. If they want to quickly regain the lost territory, only by ensuring the interests of these powerful locals can we have a chance of victory."
At this point, Liu Muzhi's eyes became dim: "In the Northern Expedition, Huan Wen once entered Guanzhong. The elders in Guanzhong said that they did not expect to see Master Wang again in this life, but after all, not many people came to support Huan Wen, and still
The battle between the Qin army and Huan Wen was in a wait-and-see state. In the end, Huan Wen was unable to gain a foothold and had to withdraw. It cannot be said that Huan Wen did not have the intention to make achievements in the Northern Expedition, but the people's support was also evident. Firstly, the southern family had no intention of the Northern Expedition, and secondly, the Han people in the north
The Hu people did not want anyone to change their lives, so over the hundred years since the Yongjia Rebellion, the folk customs of the north and the south have been very different, almost two countries and two ethnic groups. This is the fundamental reason why the Northern Expedition was difficult to succeed."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "No matter how difficult it is, we still have to give it a try. No matter how divided we are, no matter how different our customs are, can it be compared to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when many countries were established, and the five or six hundred years of chaos? Compared with
Can we overcome the difference between those nomadic barbarians outside the Great Wall, who eat meat and drink milk, and the Han people in the Central Plains? Even the barbarians of all ethnic groups can gain a foothold in the north. Our Great Jin Dynasty is the direct trace of China, and the Northern Expedition is an impossible task?
If I, Liu Yu, don’t believe it, I must at least give it a try!”
Liu Muzhi laughed and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Jinu, I just like your courage to fear no heaven or earth. Maybe one day, I can accomplish this feat in your hands, and I, Liu Muzhi,
, I also hope to help you achieve this great event. But it is useless to say so much now. You should think carefully about what happened before and after the war. Let’s not talk about the Shouchun decisive battle for now. It is unlikely that a child of a typical family like Wang Ningzhi will continue
Supporting the Xie family’s subsequent Northern Expedition, it is almost certain that a rift will arise between the Wang and Xie families, and Huan Xuan was aware of this and came up with this vicious plan!”
Liu Yu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Then it seems that it is not just a personal grudge over the competition for Miaoyin, but the Huan family wants to use this to drive a wedge between Wang Xie and hinder the Northern Expedition. To be honest, I am from
Lowly, if you just want to steal the wonderful sound from me, although I am unwilling to do so, I can't do anything about it. But if it is for the selfish interests of the Huan family and wants to ruin the national affairs, huh, I, Liu Yu, will risk my life not to do it.
, but also to stop his conspiracy."
Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "Only by saving his life can he stop his conspiracy. I am here to discuss with you how to make contributions in the coming war. Only by making contributions in this battle can Marshal Xuan be promoted to your official position."
, only by improving your own status can you stop other people's ambitions, encourage them!"
