Chapter 5396: Retired and has a place to settle down
Xuanwu shook his head gently and said: "I think that under the current situation, we should not have too deep contact with them. In fact, during the Jiankang Defense War, they tried to threaten Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin.
Fleeing to Wu's hometown, he then negotiated with the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao to expel Liu Yu in exchange for reconciliation between Tianshi Dao and them. Based on this incident alone, it was impossible to forgive Liu Yu.
Although Liu Yu did not immediately retaliate against them afterwards, it was just because the demon thieves had not been completely suppressed and could not immediately create divisions within the army, so he only tolerated them for a while. Just like when Liu Yu succeeded in Jianyi, he did not immediately attack the King of Taiyuan.
It’s just the aristocratic families that have always looked down on him.”
"But if Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi still don't restrain themselves and want to use Liu Yi's power to continue to fight against Liu Yu, then their survival will be over, and Liu Yu will definitely settle old and new accounts with them.
Not only can we not tip them off, but we also have to find ways to separate our family from theirs, so as not to set fire to ourselves."
Qinglong sighed: "I understand, I can only hope that they don't lose their minds. At this time, you have to give in. Liu Yi has obviously lost the power he had in the past. A bunch of young marshals and generals are waiting to take his place, and then fight with Liu Yi."
It would not be good for them to cooperate. I think I should try my best to let them understand this."
Bai Hu shook his head: "Good words can't dissuade you. Damn it, Lord Qinglong, don't have too much hope. The biggest problem with Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi is that they can't recognize the situation. They think that the world is a world where aristocratic families can decide everything. In their hearts
Deep down, both Liu Yu and Liu Yi were just pawns of Xie An and Xie Xianggong back then, or were they the commanders of the army who they could call around and take charge of affairs. It was because they did not understand clearly.
, always trying to suppress these warlords, so the ending is destined to be tragic."
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "I will know the right amount. Okay, after saying so much, you, Mr. Baihu, still haven't explained how to regain military power. Could it be that just relying on the merger of the Jingba Party and the Black Hand Qiankun, we can have a civil and military
By converging, can all the current young commanders and generals join our ranks?"
Bai Hu said calmly: "The merger that Liu Yu wants is to turn the civil servants and generals into a whole, and take the opportunity to nationalize the intelligence department and separate it from the major families. From now on, our various families, or
The generals in the army are no longer able to engage in spies and small tricks on their own. As an individual, his ability to resist the country will be greatly reduced. Maybe Liu Yu also knows that human nature is selfish. If he is separated from the country and wants to be selfless, it is
It’s impossible, so we simply nationalize the intelligence department, so that we can master the intelligence and no longer have to worry about the small tricks of high-ranking families or generals from foreign vassals like Liu Yi.”
"However, in this way, a new class was formed. The original high-ranking families and the general families were merged together. Liu Yu could have used the army to force the high-ranking families to submit, but in doing so, the original high-ranking families were merged.
The army under his control, or the generals who led the army, have also become members of the noble family, the aristocratic family. The current young marshals do not want to be equal to their own soldiers, and they will definitely take advantage of this golden opportunity.
, turn yourself into a member of the aristocratic family, so that your descendants can also keep their positions. This is a great opportunity for us to regain the army."
Xuanwu's eyes lit up: "You mean, we can take people like Tan Daoji, Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Chaoshi, Wang Zhene, Shen Tianzi, Shen Linzi, and Meng Huaiyu into our ranks?"
Bai Hu smiled slightly: "Why not? The generals will turn the original large armies into small and medium-sized battle groups in the future. Several armies will form a battle group with no more than 10,000 people. But this obviously cannot satisfy these requirements. The generals want to expand the size of their armies and make achievements in foreign affairs, so this creates conditions for us to cooperate with them."
Xuanwu smiled and nodded: "Master Baihu, can you be more specific about how we can cooperate with these people."
Bai Hu cleared his throat and said: "Liu Yi actually gave a very good idea, which is to hide troops from the people. His underground legions were all those who had served in his legions before. After retiring, Liu Yi We have found a way for these people to make a living in Jiankang City and other places in Wudi, so that they can settle down in big cities and have decent jobs to do. This is definitely better than going back to their hometowns to farm, so This underground legion is absolutely loyal to Liu Yi, even if they are asked to rebel and kill the emperor, they will not hesitate."
"We can also cooperate with these generals and marshals. Now they have tens of thousands of soldiers under their command. In addition, after the Tianshi Dao is eliminated, they will recruit the remaining defeated soldiers of the Tianshi Dao. In fact, everyone looks at the tens of thousands of troops under their command. However, because of the disarmament and retirement after the war, most of the people were unable to stay. They were definitely not willing to do so, but they could not go against Liu Yu's will, so they had ideas in mind. If we could provide them with an opportunity, we would The manors and fields we were newly assigned to provide security personnel, and in the name of looking after homes and homes, these veterans from his army were accommodated, allowing them to make a living in our manors, escort agencies, and caravans. If this is a good job, they will be very happy."
Qinglong laughed: "The condition is that once there is another war and the imperial court recruits another large army, these people can be transferred to the armies of these generals in the name of servants and servants of our aristocratic families, so that they can quickly Do you have the ability to fight abroad?"
Bai Hu nodded with satisfaction: "That's it. The placement of retired soldiers has always been a big problem. If it is not handled well and these people with combat experience become a big problem for the country, then Liu Yu will have a headache. Now these veterans It is impossible to directly become a village official like before, so you can only return to your place of origin to farm. In the chaos of war, some people's homes have long since ceased to exist. They are alone, and they are more likely to become bandits. If a high-ranking member of our family can come forward, , to settle these people down and give them food to eat, Liu Yu will obviously not refuse."
"In this way, we can not only help Liu Yu solve the problem of veterans retiring and settling down, but also reach an agreement with the young marshals and generals to transfer them to them and reorganize the army. Through this relationship, we can let these young marshals , become one of us, at most give them some manor land deeds and real estate, and let them seek some private benefits for their own family members. In this way, don’t they become one of our own?” ()
