There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 5426 Whether it is an enemy or a friend depends on the outcome of the battle
Chapter 5426 Whether it is an enemy or a friend depends on the outcome of the battle
He Lanmin frowned and said: "That's not true. You haven't tortured the people. Even if you are in Qingzhou now, haven't you exempted Qingzhou from taxes for a few years? That Gou Xi just wants to establish his prestige. From time to time, he goes to those who have no power.
The counties and counties that had paid enough taxes slaughtered people in the villages, executed the entire village, and piled them up in the capital. This gave him the reputation of the butcher. After I arrived in Qingzhou, people still talk about this man's horrific and evil deeds a hundred years ago.
No matter what you do, you will never become such a butcher."
Liu Yu said calmly: "In fact, there is no big difference in essence, because the reason why Gou Xi is so cruel is because in troubled times, he separated one side and felt that his territory was not big enough and he did not have enough soldiers, so he fought tooth and nail to seize control of one side.
To squeeze the people, you said that he slaughtered cities and villages to establish his authority. This is very correct. Those villages that paid less taxes just because people's livelihood was difficult in troubled times were directly killed by him. This shows that
He doesn't care about the life and death of the people at all. He doesn't know that the people are the foundation that supports his army. Once this foundation is gone, how long can he last no matter how many troops he has at the moment? Once his army is defeated by a foreign enemy, or
When it was dispersed and used to suppress people in various places, it allowed a powerful enemy to take advantage of the loophole to directly seize his capital, and he would be ruined like in history. In the same example, there is Ran Min, who also resorted to military violence to squeeze the people to death.
If you maintain your own army, you will eventually lose the morale of the people, and the morale of the military will also be dispersed. After all, all soldiers and soldiers come from the people. If your family members are casually killed by a tyrant, then you will still have to pay for it.
Do you want to fight against such a person?"
He Lanmin sighed: "But in troubled times, it is impossible to make the people live a good life. After all, the world is not peaceful. Just like you are in Jin State now, and the taxes you collect are not much lighter than those in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Even this
In order to pacify the Celestial Master Dao, we have already collected taxes in Wudi for two years in advance, so that we can continue the war."
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, it is precisely because war consumes and oppresses the people too much, so I must be cautious and combine war and defense. The war with the demon thief Tianshi Dao is a last resort.
It is not a war like the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan that I can choose whether to start or when to end. Even the Northern Expedition to Southern Yan took a three or four year break after I succeeded in establishing justice, allowing the aristocratic manor in Wu to resume the chaos of Sun En.
The first 70% of the production capacity was about 70%. After accumulating food, grass and military equipment for several years, and the black robe gave me an excuse to send troops, I was able to take advantage of the situation and launch it. Up to now, this war has lasted for nearly three years, and the war has lasted for nearly three years.
Most of the Jin Dynasty has been reduced to ruins, and I can no longer continue to launch unnecessary wars under such circumstances."
He Lanmin sighed: "Liu Yu, I know your life is difficult, and I also know that it is not easy in the Jin Dynasty, but it is even more difficult in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to suppress the rebellious people everywhere and repel Rouran in Mobei, some
The states, counties, and tribes have been collecting taxes for five years, and even fourteen-year-old men have to go to the battlefield. It's hard for you, and the enemy is even harder. If the Northern Wei Dynasty can slow down and defeat them again,
, but it’s difficult.”
"Moreover, can you just sit back and watch when the Han people in the north are being suppressed, slaughtered, and exploited like this? Haven't you always claimed to protect the Han people and must never allow them to die under the sabers of the Hulu? Now the Northern Wei Dynasty is here
You just sit back and watch while Han people are being killed in the north?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Helan, there is no need to provoke me. It is useless to provoke me. Of course I want to protect every Han people in the world, but that also depends on my own ability. If I am not capable enough, I will rashly
If I send troops and lead to the collapse of the army and the destruction of the country, I will not be able to protect not only the Han people in Hebei, but also our Han people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Is this right?
If the Han people in Hebei want to resist the tyranny of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I can use other methods, such as using members of your Fengming Society to lure them with their families to flee to the south, return to Qingzhou and become subjects of the Jin Dynasty.
, when necessary, I can also dispatch a small army to respond, but I will not send a large army to directly attack the Northern Wei Dynasty and trigger an all-out war between the two countries."
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "You want my men to do this kind of thing to lure people to flee? Help several, dozens, or hundreds of Han people to escape? This is not easy. Most of the Han people in Hebei are dragging people.
Families and families were pushing carts and carts to escape, but on the plains, wild people were fleeing for their lives.
Riding back and forth across the country, if I find this kind of people fleeing, I will rush back and forth to kill them. My men have no ability to protect these people from escaping the pursuit of these rangers. In history, there were hundreds of thousands of Hebei Han people who wanted to
They went south to join the Jin Dynasty, but they all died on the north bank of the Yellow River."
The corner of Liu Yu's mouth curled up slightly and he said: "If you can't support them going south, then you can send spies to Hebei to deliver the news and let them be patient for a while. If they are unable to resist, then don't rashly stand on their own and give the Northern Wei government normalcy.
Just pay the taxes. It will take a few more years before the Jin Dynasty can come to Hebei to rescue them when the time is right. If you endure it for a while, you will have a brighter future. You can always do this, right?"
He Lanmin said angrily: "Liu Yu, you actually want to persuade these Hebei people and powerful people to become traitors and serve the Northern Wei Dynasty? Do you still want to be the God of War in the world and the guardian of the Han people?"
Liu Yu said calmly: "I want to protect everyone in the world who is loyal to the Jin Dynasty, not only the Han people, but also the Hu people like you, the Han people in Hebei, starting from the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, in the past hundred years,
He did not go south, but lived where he was and worked for several Hu regimes before and after.
There are many people who serve, and even serve as officials, so why do they suddenly want to go to the Jin Dynasty at this time? To say that it is difficult to survive, the living conditions are difficult, is it more difficult than the Yongjia Rebellion, or the years when Ran Min rebelled against Zhao?
Is it? To the point where people cannibalize each other and no one can survive without returning to farming?"
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "But they saw that the regime of the Northern Wei Dynasty was unstable. After Tuoba Si came to the throne, too many people were dissatisfied, so they started to react. Even if you don't think they are Han people, at least they were the ones you attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty.
A powerful helper, are you really going to die without rescuing them? Aren't you afraid that when you really go north to Hebei in the future, these people will become the Wei army and become your formidable enemies on the battlefield?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Mrs. Helan, whether you are an enemy or a friend depends on the comparison of strength. It is not as simple as whether you are a Han or a barbarian. Just like during my Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, how many Qingzhou Han people became
My enemy? After conquering Guanggu, how many Xianbei people surrendered to the Jin Dynasty and became my loyal warriors?" (End of this chapter)
