Liu Yu sighed softly and said: "It turns out that after working for a long time, your father realized that even if the Xie family retreated behind the scenes, they still had strong strength and resources, so he wanted to join the Black Hand Universe and become like them.
He is from a noble family."
Liu Jingxuan nodded and said seriously: "Yes, in the past, although my father knew that these century-old families had deep roots and could recover sooner or later if they lost power in the officialdom, he did not expect that, first, other guards like Xi Chao could actually do so.
To overthrow a prime minister like the Xie family, of course, Xie Xuan never revealed the identities of other guards to him. It was only after you exposed Xi Chaochang on the stage that he would sigh that these children of the big family could actually escape from the world by pretending to die.
, controlling everything from behind."
Liu Yu laughed: "I was extremely shocked when I heard about the Black Hand Qiankun and the Four Guards. However, it is not very surprising when I think about it. After all, they control the taxation and resources of Wu, and they have
The manpower of the entire Wu region has contributed to them for decades and hundreds of years. In addition to a small part of these contributions being converted into food and clothing for their family, more will inevitably be turned into food, grass, ordnance, and war material reserves.
, since it is not placed in the open, it will inevitably turn underground. This is the reason why the Black Hand Qiankun and the Tiandao Alliance can suddenly, like magic, come up with food and armaments that can supply hundreds of thousands of troops for several years or even decades.
I'm just sorry. If these resources can be used by the country and used in the Northern Expedition, why worry about the Hu barbarians not being exterminated."
Liu Jingxuan said sternly: "Both my father and our Liu family have always been just ordinary military lieutenant generals. Who knows these other things? In my father's original understanding, if there is a big family, he will be the prime minister of the dynasty."
Common sense, give him an official position, give him a military position, let him lead troops to fight, become a general, and be famous all over the world, he will be so happy that he can't sleep. When he knows the darkness behind the scenes, he knows that he will never
He is just a chess piece in the hands of a noble family. When he is in use, he is made a general, and when not in use, he is disarmed and returned to his field. What will he think?"
Liu Yu shook his head, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes: "So, he turned to the darkness and wanted to become a member of the aristocratic family and a member of the Black Hand Universe. However, Wang Gong is not a member of the Black Hand Universe, so why should he?
What about promoting Liu Laozhi?"
Liu Jingxuan sneered: "Because Wang Gong and Yin Zhongkan have a very close relationship. After Yin Zhongkan took the White Tiger Token, he wanted to set up a new branch to kill the original Black Hand Qiankun gang and establish a new Black Hand Qiankun. This requires
He was able to raise troops and invade the capital, and the battle for Changdao provided him with such an opportunity, so he colluded with Wang Gong and even made arrangements in advance, promising Wang Gong that once he invaded Jiankang, he would rebuild a new Black Hand Universe.
, he, Wang Gong, and Huan Xuan will find another Wu family that is attached to them, gather four of them, and continue to control the world, and people like Sima Daozi and Wang Guobao are the ones they need to eradicate."
Liu Yu laughed: "But it seems that Huan Xuan didn't appreciate this. He even eliminated this black hand Qiankun later."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, because Huan Xuan suddenly felt that he could be the emperor, so why did he need Black Hand Qiankun? The ambitions of Huan Wen and Huan Xuan's father and son, and the alliance of aristocratic families like Black Hand Qiankun, secretly restricted each other and manipulated the puppet emperor.
, were different, so Yin Zhongkan himself was killed by Huan Xuan. Of course, this is a story later, but when this proposal first came out, Wang Gong was very interested, so he took advantage of the Feishui River.
After the war, during the power vacuum period when the Xie family handed over power, Liu Laozhi began to form his own army with Liu Laozhi as the general, because he was the governor of Yangzhou and had this title. As for the military supplies and resources Liu Laozhi needed to build the army,
It was provided by Xie Xuan, but Liu Laozhi said that it was captured during his Northern Expedition. Anyway, many of his subordinates were veterans who were inseparable from bandits. They brought their own equipment and would not attract Wang Gong's attention, so he just believed it.
Already."
"It's just that Wang Gong didn't have much military food and resources in his hands. Without the righteousness of the Northern Expedition, it would be difficult to maintain the army for a long time, so he tacitly allowed Liu Laozhi to plunder everywhere during the battle. This was also the reason why the Beifu Army later
The root cause of the corruption of military discipline."
Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "This kind of thing happened before the Battle of Feishui. Ah Shou, I'm not talking about you. You were used to robbing families and homes when you were in Huaibei. Although we are brave, we are the country's
How can the army rob its own people like this?"
Liu Jingxuan shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes: "The country's army does not give the country's army the military supplies, food and grass they deserve. If we don't let them grab it, we will starve to death. We have been in the army for so many years.
Where food and clothing come from, those of us who are generals know best. If there are no aristocratic families to provide military rations, then our army will not be able to maintain it. During non-war times, only most of the people will disarm and return to the field."
Liu Yu sneered: "So only by taking back these fields that should originally belong to the country and should supply the army with food, can we effectively maintain the army and the entire country's top-to-bottom official management system. After I have been in power these years
, won’t it be possible to maintain the army?”
Liu Jingxuan smiled and waved his hand: "That's because the aristocratic family is willing to cooperate with you and needs our Beifu Army to look after their homes and homes. It was only after experiencing the Sun En Rebellion that they realized that they were not safe in Wu. However,
Even so, we are still seriously short of manpower for grassroots governance, and there are not enough suitable officials. These can only be solved gradually in the future. We have been able to do this for so many years since we founded the Yi, let alone back then. My father
Although this kind of practice of indistinguish between soldiers and bandits and looting everywhere is wrong, it does have its difficulties."
Liu Yu waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not mention these things. This kind of atmosphere still exists in our army and must be corrected. My army must be soldiers who protect the people and defend the country, rather than taking advantage of the chaos.
We must insist on bandits who rob and harm the people."
Liu Jingxuan nodded: "As long as there is a stable supply of military food and materials, the generals can maintain military discipline. However, now some marshals want to use post-war plunder to stimulate morale. You have to pay attention to this.
When I led the troops, I was bound by your rules. Whether others are so obedient is hard to say."
Liu Yu's expression changed slightly: "You mean, Wang Zhene might launch an army to rob someone?"
Liu Jingxuan put away his smile and said seriously: "He has never led an army independently, but from my perspective, if he is a commander, he will do this!" (End of Chapter)
