Chapter 706 Yan Qijin, Yan Ergou, Yangou Leftover(1/2)
Liu Zhang: "..."
He wished he could vomit blood and die.
He looked at the eldest son in confusion, not understanding where his worries and resistance came from?
People who have always liked to fight the most are now afraid of sending troops to fight, which is very strange.
He should have actively asked for battle, rather than sing a opposite tune everywhere.
He asked tentatively: "Are you afraid of Yan Yunge? How could you be afraid of her? Why are you afraid of her? Just because she won a game, have you lost your confidence?"
Liu Baoshun said loudly: "The son minister did not lose his confidence, but the son minister just became more cautious and gained more knowledge about Yan Yunge.
Her methods are hard to guard against, and her father didn't want to be in vain, so her son-in-law stood in Yan Yunge's position and thought about how to break the deadlock.
What is her advantage? It is to have money and a lot of money. If she tempts the Southern Wei emperor Xiao Chengwen with taxes, salt and sugar taxes, can Xiao Chengwen refuse the temptation?
If Yan Yunge increases his weight and promises that from this fall, several coastal counties will pay taxes in full, will Xiao Chengwen agree to join forces with us to strangle her? Compared to the long-term plan, which may not be successful, the immediate benefits seem to be more real!"
"you……"
Liu Zhang was speechless, a little surprised, and a little surprised.
Liu Baoshun continued: "After a loss, I have to remember and learn from my experience. My son vowed that he will not look down on Yan Yunge again from now on.
Therefore, the son minister believes that the possibility of joining forces with Xiao Chengwen of the Southern Wei Dynasty to strangle Yan Yunge together will not exceed 30%. Father, don’t forget that the Southern Wei court is currently fighting on both sides, with great expenses and losses. The supplement to the source of troops is the most important issue they have to face.
Secondly, the court officials in the Southern Wei court were used to the debauchery of the South. Under the temptation of huge interests, they may not be able to withstand long-term battles and have a highly tense life every day.
Another thing is that the Southern Wei regards our Northern Wei as an enemy. Compared to Yan Yunge, they hate our Northern Wei more. After all, Yan Yunge is nominally a minister of the Southern Wei. All the reasons make me believe that Xiao Chengwen will not agree to cooperate with us."
Liu Zhang frowned and thought for a moment.
"Xiao Chengwen is not a short-sighted person. He has a long-term vision, so how could he give up the great opportunity to strangle Yan Yunge for the sake of mere interests?"
"No matter how talented he is, he can't stand the people, and there are too many people who can't stand the hindrance from the court to the public. Just adding troops to this is enough to make people resent."
The Southern Wei court implemented the military service system.
Tough recruitment.
In every household, a man aged fifteen to fifty is considered a strong man.
As long as there are two or more strong men in the family, one person must be sent to serve in the military.
There will be a salary, but the salary is relatively small, and it may not be on time, and there will be a deduction and discount.
If it dies, there will be pensions.
It’s just that the pension is too small and it won’t be of much use.
For this reason, the common people of the Southern Wei Dynasty were very disgusted with fighting.
Fighting a war means that the males in the family will be transferred to military service, and they are likely to never return and die in a foreign land.
Ling Changzhi had long realized the seriousness of this problem, so when rebuilding the Northern Army, he suggested that Emperor Xiao Chengwen adopt a recruitment system.
That is, volunteer to join the army.
He supported the Northern Army with a salary higher than other arms, and built the Northern Army into a truly powerful army.
only……
There is only one Northern Army!
The Southern Army did not have such good treatment.
Local garrison forces are not even more treated, so it is considered good if they don’t pay money.
The source of the Southern Army mainly comes from the government's strong military recruitment service.
This is also one of the reasons why the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Northern Army.
The Southern Army fought with Yan Yunge, and suffered frequent defeats and suffered heavy casualties. A large number of troops were needed to be replenished.
So...
A new round of military service begins!
If this continues, it is not far from the public's resentment!
This is also one of the reasons why Liu Baoshun is not optimistic about Xiao Chengwen.
What if I was going to fight with Yan Yunge's guard camp, if I didn't give up a head?
If there were treatment like the guard camp, there would be soldiers who would fight to the death.
The treatment was not improved, and the wars were frequently defeated. Even if they delayed Xiao Yi's troops, Xiao Yi would not have the opportunity to withdraw his troops and return to the rescue.
Yan Yunge relied on the guard camp alone and had the opportunity to defeat the Southern Wei army.
Even if the Southern Army cannot retreat, at least it will make it difficult for the Southern Army to move forward.
The Southern Army directly paved the road with people, but it could not pave the territory of the three counties.
Even though Xiao Chengwen is smart and visionary, he is not from the army and has never led soldiers or fought wars.
The general in his hand seemed to be useless, and there was no second Ling Changzhi to share his worries.
This battle is hard to fight!
In short, Liu Baoshun is not optimistic about Xiao Chengwen.
He tends to say that Xiao Chengwen may choose to compromise under the temptation of interests.
It’s a good time to live alone, and it’s a good time to live alone.
I get used to it after servilely.
Liu Zhang shook his head, thinking that Liu Baoshun's view was too one-sided and too pessimistic.
It is right to attach importance to Yan Yunge, but it does not pay attention to it to this point.
He said earnestly: "No matter whether Xiao Chengwen chooses to cooperate with us or not, this step must be taken out. Just consider it as finding a new path.
The Southern Wei was full of talents, and if there was Ling Changzhi, there would be a second Ling Changzhi. However, Xiao Chengwen intended to suppress the aristocratic family, so that young talents from the aristocratic family did not have the opportunity to make their mark. Once the opportunity was given, Xiao Chengwen might make a hole to let the aristocratic family of the Southern Wei participate in this gamble.
You have considered all aspects and even considered the source of troops, which is very good. But you have ignored the most powerful family and ignored the amazing power that bursts out once they are united.
You have experienced the power of those aristocratic families in several coastal counties. Those are just a group of second- and third-rate aristocratic families, which can make you feel disappointed.
The true top families are all in the Southern Wei Dynasty. When the top families exert their strength, Yan Yunge also wants to admit defeat.
Therefore, I want to give Xiao Chengwen a chance, an opportunity to make him determined to reuse the aristocratic family. As long as he is willing to reuse the aristocratic family, Yan Yunge is not worth worrying about!"
Liu Baoshun asked, "Her father has decided?"
"How could I be half-hearted?" Liu Zhang snorted coldly.
at this time……
The father and son were not tense or confrontation.
But there is quotient and quantity.
The quarrel caused by the massacre of the Xue family before seemed like an illusory dream.
Liu Baoshun bowed to accept the order.
In the end, it was his brother Liu Zhang who convinced him.
Aristocratic families are hateful, but aristocratic families are indispensable.
Everything has its pros and cons, and the same is true for aristocratic families.
If the power of aristocratic families is used properly, it is just a matter of time to sweep the world.
If it is not used well, it will be backfire.
Just like Emperor Taining of Dezong, he was defeated by a noble family and almost became a puppet.
It was Shi Wen, the Marquis of Pingwu who gave him a second choice, breaking through the blockade of the aristocratic family, and then he had a brief time to enjoy the imperial authority.
...
The retreating Liangzhou soldiers rushed forward again.
Xiao Yi had to prepare for battle!
Tens of thousands of alpacas whizzing by his heart.
His Yunge, his precious son, and his newborn young son!
Huh huh huh huh...
He wants to go home!
I dream of going home, but my dream is home.
But……
The Liu family’s father and son are either a thing, they just hold on to each other, but they just refuse to give up, and they just want to pull him on and fight him.
It is like fighting a stop-and-stop, a protracted war, and a war of attrition.
To be continued...
