Chapter 2906 Six Countries and Six Escapes, Literary and Military
"You don't even want to call me father." Calling dad is not a unique joke in later generations.
Just like Lu Bu almost never called Fei Qian the lord before.
The first virtuous brother, Ziyuan, later became an official position, and the distance between them seemed to be further pulled with the physical distance.
Lu Bu lowered his head.
Perhaps they were really convinced by Fei Qian, perhaps because they wanted to survive, or perhaps for some other reason, but now, with the change of Lu Bu's name, the guards and soldiers who followed Lu Bu naturally gave up their resistance and were gathered up. The soldiers themselves had no intention of rebelling. After being confiscated, they stayed in the back camp honestly and served as labor for a period of time.
Fei Qian sometimes finds it a little funny.
Lu Bu's personality is really not the end. He will not bow his head until he hits the south wall and is not bleeding anymore.
This kind of stubbornness is incredible if it is placed in the literati in Shandong who mocks martial artists every day.
For some literati in Shandong, when they see that the situation is not good, they immediately lower their heads and call them dad, which is almost a talented instinct.
Fei Qian's attitude towards Lu Bu did not change any changes because Lu Bu lowered his head. He still called him Brother Fengxian and asked him to rest first. He did not say that he would immediately give a verdict on Lu Bu, nor would he continue to blame or abuse him.
Lu Bu has many problems and heavy responsibilities. These are undoubtedly the same, but it does not mean that Lu Bu is guilty, so Lu Bu is useless and denies it completely.
As for Lu Bu's guards and his soldiers, most of them did not have much direct responsibility for the Western Regions. In the feudal dynasty, most of the middle and lower-level officials, including the non-commissioned officers in the army, did not have much thought. The so-called yellow robe was just a trick played between a few upper-level generals. In fact, there were very few incidents that the entire army participated in.
Fei Qian was very cautious about Lu Bu's handling of the problem.
It is not because of Lu Bu's reputation or considering the relationship between Lu Bu and Fei Qian, but because of the specific matters of Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu now represents the highest position that some poor generals can reach, and represents an ordinary Han border citizen who has reached the top level of the world with his personal strength.
Due to the influence of Lu Bu's own knowledge and culture and related three views, he did have problems in his words and deeds, which led to disasters in the Western Regions, corruption in officials, and suffering from the people. But in the same way, in the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, how many people, like Lu Bu, who caused turmoil in the frontier, really received punishment, and how many people turned big and small things into small things?
Is Lu Bu too special, or is it because those whose names are hidden are too unspecial?
Why didn’t those people be beaten like Lu Bu?
Extending, why did the subsequent feudal emperors become increasingly afraid of military men and tolerate literati?
Is it a pro or a disadvantage to the separation of civil and military families?
These problems are something that Fei Qian must think about and try to solve.
So it should be more appropriate to things and people.
Killing is easy.
It's really hard to think about it.
When the Yumen was closed, Taishici accompanied Fei Qian to patrol the city.
Tomorrow, Taishici will set out and then run towards Xihai City. As a vanguard, he will fight the Western Regions Alliance first.
"In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties fought, and martial arts was the priority." Fei Qian walked slowly while saying to Taishi Ci, "The number of soldiers and soldiers is the cornerstone of victory."
Not only before the Qin and Han dynasties, but even in the feudal dynasties that followed, the bravery and number of soldiers were still an important factor in the victory of the war. Although it may not be absolute, it is at least the cornerstone of victory. Taishici naturally had no objection to this point, and nodded aside.
Fei Qian walked forward, "Any way to get out of the army is to start with the six towns, and the tax is not stopped, and then the six surrenders are released; the tax is still not stopped, and the military recruitment is recruited in the public and the third grade; the tax is still not stopped, so the military recruitment is recruited in the princes... Can Ziyi know why it is used?"
Taishi Ci thought for a moment and said, "The people of the six villages should be used for the nearest, and the people of the six sui should be used for the wild."
Fei Qian nodded, "Why is this?"
"This..." Taishi Ci only knew this, but he didn't think so much before.
Fei Qian said that it was the recruitment system of the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Liuxiang, also called the Chinese people. Generally speaking, even if it is a city household registration, the so-called Liusui is the countryside and suburbs, also called the savages. What Fei Qian said was that during the Zhou Dynasty, if the country needed to recruit soldiers, it would first choose from the Chinese people and then choose from the savages. Then it was not enough, so it was conscripted from the princes and others.
During the Zhou Dynasty, it was obvious that the status of the Chinese people was higher than that of the savages. In other words, in the Zhou Dynasty, joining the army was a kind of honor. The soldiers and soldiers enjoyed a high social status, which was a general perception of most people in the Zhou Dynasty. Whenever there was a chance to join the army, they would always actively participate and enter the army in order according to their status.
Taishici thought for a long time before saying, "Report to the lord, may he be loyal to the people of the country?"
"Well..." Fei Qian nodded and said, "However, why do the people of the country be loyal and the savages have doubts, and then the Zhou Dynasty is insignificant and the princes are in full swing?"
Taishici frowned and was very distressed. He knew that today's conversation with Fei Qian was very important, and it might even determine many subsequent things, but he still did not expect Fei Qian to ask these questions instead of asking how he would fight the Western Regions, how to quell the rebellion, how to kill the military formation, and how to fight in the wild.
Fei Qian glanced at Taishi Ci and knew that Taishi Ci did not fully understand the fundamental cause of the turmoil in the Western Regions, nor did he know what the Western Regions played to the political state of the entire Han Dynasty. In this way, even if Taishi Ci served as the protector of the Western Regions, it was unlikely that he would make any progress on the original basis.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind it! Or the kind of progress that Fei Qian wants.
Reprimand and insulting cannot solve the problem, but it only suppressed the problem for a while. That problem still exists, just like the problem in the Western Regions. Fei Qian believes that the Western Regions coalition is not a problem, but what about after defeating the Western Regions coalition?
Can Taishici take on the important task of changing the Western Regions and transforming the Protectorate?
Compared with Lu Bu, Taishici may have a little worse force, but in terms of civil affairs, it is much better than Lu Bu.
This world is still very big. What China needs is civil and military talents, not civil and military wealth or fraud.
After the Han and Tang Dynasties, "martial arts" gradually became "emphasized literature", which was not a good thing, but it was consistently practiced in the subsequent feudal dynasties. What is its root cause?
"In the Western Regions to China, Zhou chased it to the countryside and the princes to all directions." Fei Qian said slowly, "Zhou used the people of the country as brave, not the people of the country to chase it, but the land was more than the wilderness. It was like the chief of the Western Regions. If he knew that his death was not the family business, he would have to fight in chaos. Nothing else was the nature of human beings."
『The Spring and Autumn Period was martial, and the Warring States Period was particularly prosperous. Shang Gong said, "The reason why the country prospered was the agricultural war." Fei Qian looked at Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci nodded to show that he knew this, and he smiled, "Then... why do you only hear about "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" now, but not see their "war?"
"Ah? This..." Taishi Ci swallowed and couldn't answer.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, one was the general perception of people in the original society, and the other was the need to fight for hegemony, and the other was the need for hegemony, and all the princes enriched the country and strengthened the army. One of the changes in the Qin Dynasty was the reform brought by Shang Yang. He denied the strategy of Qi, but instead placed military forces to the height of agriculture. It can be seen that Shang Yang valued military affairs. Under his influence and encouragement, the Qin Dynasty, which originally advocated martial arts and bravery, became more important to martial arts and meritorious, and worked hard to move towards the direction of "the whole country is responsible for military affairs."
Shang Yang said, "Those who are unable to win and the king are destroyed, have never been seen since ancient times and the present. The people who are brave will defeat; those who are not brave will be defeated. Those who can fight will be brave; those who cannot fight will be brave, the people who are not brave. The sage king sees the king's military, so he blames the whole country for the military." Looking at this passage, it is enough to prove the momentum of the old Qin back then. With this kind of momentum and belief that the whole country is fighting and the whole people are soldiers, how could the Qin Dynasty not become the biggest winner?
And now...
A group of Shandong defeated bandits who were yelling every day, saying, "If you are wary, you will die."
Fei Qian said slowly: "The so-called reward is that the profits, the official titles and titles are brought out from the army, and there is no different way. Therefore, the Qin people are all brave enough to fight."
Taishi Ci nodded silently, thinking about something.
In Qin, a person from an ordinary family can be granted a title of marquis and ministers based on his military merits, and the size and quality of his military merits directly determine the future political and economic interests and social status of the soldiers. Shang Yang valued law and regarded military service as an obligation and responsibility that the people must bear. But on this basis, he did not forget to pay attention to profits. Anyway, he had to serve in the military, so it was better to actively participate and fight bravely, and he could also change his background.
"The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and was brave in military warfare. The war was prosperous, and the battle to expel the Huns and pursue the death of the northern desert." Fei Qian raised his head and looked at the vast Gobi Desert, as if he was watching the figures of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other Yulin Guards in the flying yellow sand.
After Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty won the world, he also inherited most of the Qin system. The military merit system was still a necessary path for many civilians to change their lives in the early Western Han Dynasty. Moreover, judging from the composition of the official class in the early Western Han Dynasty, most of those who hold high positions in the court were descendants of meritorious generals. When the Western Han Dynasty faced the enemy of the Huns, it meant that the war would not end, and the generals had to rely on the battle to kill the enemy to maintain domestic security and stability.
"Until Xiaowu, he abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone..." Fei Qian smiled and said, "Ziyi can tell that Emperor Xiaowu's abolished hundreds of schools of thought was not just abolished the study of Shen, Shang, Han, Su, and Zhang, but abolished the powerful landlords and military meritorious officials..."
Taishici widened his eyes. What Fei Qian said was completely different from what Taishici knew before. Taishici could understand how to suppress the powerful landlords, but wasn’t the hundreds of schools that Dong Zhongshu said targeting literati? Why did he suddenly turn a corner and stabbing the military meritorious officials?
"It's like the Western Regions," Fei Qian pointed to the west and sighed, "It's like Lu Fengxian..."
Taishi Ci thought something.
Because the Han Dynasty was rejuvenated and rejuvenated after the reign of Wen and Jing, the first generation of military meritorious lords who had worked hard to become corruption and decline. Their descendants could no longer provide security and guarantees to the people, nor could they become barriers and pillars of the country, and even hindered the development of society and the stability of the country, and became a burden in the feudal dynasty. They not only could not effectively strengthen the control of the ruling class, but also were not conducive to the monarch's strengthening centralization.
Therefore, after Emperor Wu of Han took power, he adopted a suppression policy against these degenerate meritorious generals. On the one hand, Emperor Wu of Han believed that "military achievements are given to show importance and literary virtues are given to praise", and began to promote some "literary scholars" to serve as officials to supplement administrative needs, thus changing the situation of meritorious and military generals in power. On the other hand, Emperor Wu of Han also valued common people and promoted some cold-sized talents, such as Sang Hongyang, Sima Xiangru, Zhu Maichen, Wei Qing, etc. as important officials to fight against the original nobles.
Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a deep understanding when he was fighting for the world and knew that those who were separatist in the area were warlords, so Emperor Guangwu also emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts, especially focused on preventing the land in Guanxi. Since then, it has been difficult for military generals and warriors of the Eastern Han Dynasty to enter the core ruling circle.
At this point, the pattern of light military and emphasis on literature gradually formed. The model of light military and nobles and emphasis on scriptures continued until the end of the Tang Dynasty. Then, in a rattle, the huge family weakened and fell down. More emerging landlord classes stood up again, and the cycle of land, the key means of production, lasted for thousands of years.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The world's general trend, long-term unity will lead to division, and long-term division will lead to unity.
It would also make sense to replace this "general trend" with land ownership.
"Ziyi, what do you think about Lu Fengxian's affairs in the Western Regions?" Fei Qian asked.
Taishi Ci was stunned and looked up at Fei Qian, "This is naturally a decision for the lord. Lu Fengxian is guilty and should be punished."
Fei Qian smiled slightly. Taishici's words were interesting. Taishici actually understood a little bit why Fei Qian still kept Lu Bu's life, because Taishici himself was also a general.
Fei Qian looked into the distance, "Since that's the case, how should Ziyi determine Jing'an of the Western Regions and show the great spirit of the Han Dynasty?"
Fei Qian's question seemed very simple, but Taishici's head was sweating slightly.
Taishici knew more than Lu Bu, so he more or less knew some of Fei Qian's meaning.
Lu Bu was like the military generals and nobles in the early Han Dynasty, and then slowly corrupted and degenerated, hindering the development of the country. He did something like Emperor Wu of Han to do something like Dong Zhongshu, and abolished all schools of thought and respected Confucianism. Although it could be removed, the impact it brought was not to kill one or two people, and it would be considered as the end.
Even if Huo Qubing lives for a few more years, what can he do?
It may be said that it was like the Wei family, who was killed in the nine clans!
If there were no gentry literati to do something wrong...
Fei Qian glanced at Taishi Ci and did not urge him.
Because this problem itself is very big, it really needs to be thought about.
It is indeed not good to just hand over the governance of a region to the military, but what if it is handed over to the literati?
Just like the subsequent feudal dynasties, it is OK to value literature and neglect military affairs?
The same is not possible.
Fei Qian knew that this had been proven by history. Some literati of the feudal dynasty were even more trash and more harmful than stupid warriors.
The Confucius family and the Yanshenggong family in the feudal dynasty are like microcosms of the entire Chinese literati.
Fei Qian remembered some of the things about Yan Sheng Gong that he knew in later generations.
What is interesting is that these guys who claim to be noble in their blood have strict requirements and nitpicking for the people inside China, but they are wagging their tails and begging for mercy to the outside enemies.
During the Great Jin Dynasty, Kong Duanyou, Yansheng Gong, went south and became Yansheng Gong of the Southern Sect of the Kong clan. However, Kong Duanyou's half-brother Kong Duancao voluntarily surrendered to the Jin army and became the beginning of the Northern Sect.
Later, the most authentic Confucius Sect was the Northern Sect, and then this tradition was carried forward.
Whether he was willing to bow down to the Yuan Dynasty and fulfill his duties and filial piety, Kong Kejian, who was willing to put on airs when Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation, or Kong Yinzhi, who said that his head was so cool and he had many benefits when he entered the Central Plains, or Kong Lingyi, who later repeatedly welcomed portraits of foreign emperors, and Kong Decheng, who was excited before the Japanese invasion of China, was very excited and excited, saying that China and Japan were "the same writing and the same species", saying that "the origin of Jiangchuan Zhusi was combined, and not to mention that the same province was different."
Ha, this is Yan Shenggong.
The literati of the feudal dynasty worshipped such descendants of Confucius.
Literati can surrender and rebellion again and again, but they can bring a crown of "reserving the seeds of reading" on themselves, and then turn around and criticize Lu Bu as a slave of the three families...uh, slave of the three families.
You should know that when the Jin, Yuan and Song families coexisted, there were three Confucius Yan Shenggong. Later, in order to compete for who was the real and fake Confucius Monkey King, he played a good show in front of the noble princes of the Yuan Dynasty. He tore his face to the face, the clothes to pull clothes, and the sticks to play sticks. Yuan Taizu laughed.
This type of literati are tolerant of themselves and harsh on others. On the surface, they say that they do not value other people's background, but in fact, the literati class formed by these literati have refused to give in to the emperor in the feudal dynasties of all dynasties.
However, there are exceptions. For example, the scholars and officials dare not fart even more, and they even wrote books to praise them, saying that the nine dragons compete for the legitimate legacy, and the princes are all very stylish, and the real "Dragon gives birth to nine sons"! After all, they are noble chiefs and genuine nobles of the Three Banners. Since the scholars and officials do not mind the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty above the Han people, they naturally do not mind the noble Manchu emperor's origin, after all, they are half foreigners.
There are also "foreigners" in the Western Regions.
How to deal with all these things and how to form a referenced example is the next stage of Taishi Ci's task.
Not just defeating these Western Regions coalition forces...
It is impossible for the Western Regions to allow the aristocratic families to take on the role of custody, because for the class groups formed by these gentry literati, what is more important is the interests of the family. As for the country... it doesn't matter who is the leader, as long as the salary is high, it will be successful.
Therefore, it must be a general who dares to fight and knows how to fight to take charge of the Western Regions.
However, how to prevent generals from being corrupt during the stable period, how to build a sound rights system, and how to avoid fighting for power and profits is naturally a core focus of governance in the Western Regions.
Taishi Ci thought and remained silent. The more she thought about it, the more things she had, the more it was difficult to grasp the key points.
He had some ideas at first, but now he felt that they were not applicable or not enough. For a moment, he felt sweat on his forehead.
Fei Qian stood in the wind with his hands behind his back, looking at the yellow sand rolling past the Gobi Desert.
