Section 18 On Politics (2)

By the forest, the night was like water, the bonfire was thick, and the tongue and sword were really a bit like a debate after going out with his classmates in college, giving guidance to the country, inspiring words, and martyrs were the ten thousand households back then.

Before Chu Qi finished speaking, Jiang Feng heard the sound of dead branches in the forest. Who?

I listened again, but there was no movement. Could it be that the birds and beasts in the forest were affected by the bonfire?

He quietly glanced at the woods a few feet away. Compared to more than a thousand years later, this land is mainly secondary forests. Now this land is more of a real original forest. Red nanmu, green sandalwood, fragrant fruit trees, beech trees, white pungent trees, and dendrobium can also be seen everywhere. Such as Jinzhe, which were originally quite precious medicinal plants in Qingnang Book, were also discovered by Jiang Feng.

Jingxin listened, but found nothing. Jiang Feng also felt that he was too sensitive. This place was already the boundary of Shenzhou. No matter how energy-efficient Caizhou was, it would be impossible for him to go to the foothills of Luoshan Mountain to make trouble.

The other side was so hard that it was a little overwhelmed by Chu Qi's aggressive words, but Chen Shi was known for his words, so he launched a counterattack after thinking about it for a moment.

"Dalang, in your opinion, the Liu family in Nanyang is a deceiving the world and stealing reputation. So we have been going all the way. The situation in Luoshan is much better than that in Guangshan and Le'an. Is this always a fact?" Chen Shi retorted: "And I have been to Nanyang. Although I can't go on the road and don't pick up the vows at night, it's much more stable than in Guangzhou. There are very few farmers in the farmhouses. This is what I have seen with my own eyes and there is no false statement."

"Shenzhou is not bad at first. Shenzhou under the Ju family even has less taxes and less labor than our Guangzhou." Chu Qi was not as good as Chen Shi in terms of eloquence, but he recognized a principle. "What's more, this virtue statement cannot be simply based on the good or bad life of the people under his rule. He made a false statement in Nanyang to deceive Shenzhou in front, and smiled and turned against him behind the back. Such behaviors are never convinced. This is a kind of talent rather than virtue. No matter how he rectified Shenzhou, small victory depends on wisdom and great success depends on virtue. Such behaviors in Nanyang Liu will eventually be retribution!"

"I thought Dalang's view on this confused the difference between the great virtue and the small virtue. As the saying goes, soldiers are never tired of deceit. I think that the sudden attack on Shenzhou in Nanyang is just a military means, and it is difficult to ascend to the morality. Moreover, the people's livelihood under Nanyang's rule is far superior to Shenzhou. This is a great virtue. Liu's take over Shenzhou is not a good thing for the people of Shenzhou."

Chen Shi's cunning words did make some sense, which made Chu Qi, who was unable to answer the differences between Nanyang and Shenzhou, and he was also speechless for a while.

"It is true that the rule of the Liu family in Nanyang is prosperous and peaceful, but that is why Nanyang has never experienced wars for decades, right? In addition, the soil of the Nanyang Basin itself is fertile and has a thousand miles of fertile land. Nanyang is also known as the imperial town, and has gathered a large number of talents. Liu Tong and Liu Xuan are not mediocre people, so they can achieve such achievements." Jiang Feng smiled slightly, "As for Shenzhou, it is not much different under the rule of the Ju family. If you have to say the difference, it can only be said that the natural conditions are not as good as Nanyang. Moreover, the Huangchao Rebellion once made Shenzhou white. It was not easy for the Ju family to reach its current level in fifty years."

The Huang Chao Rebellion affected the entire Central Plains, and even many of the current clans came from the Huang Chao Rebellion Army. The most typical ones were the Zhu family of Bianluo and the Ma family of Tanyue. Both of these ancestors were generals of the Huang Chao Rebellion Army. Later, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, he was granted the title of Jiedu. The Zhu family even destroyed the Tang Dynasty, and the Ma family became the overlord of the vast Jiangnan West Road.

During the Huangchao Rebellion, the Central Plains states such as Bian, Cao, Yun, Yan, Chen, Song, Xu, Ru, Cai, Ying, Bo, Shen, Guang and other Central Plains were all involved. Even Chang'an and Luoyang were besieged in the west and east capitals, but history still changed some changes here.

Huang Chao went south from Fuzhou to Guangzhou, and plundered in Guangzhou, but did not start a large-scale murder. He just plundered a large number of golden pearls and soft ones in one breath, then abducted tens of thousands of Hu Shang and his family, and then led his army to the north.

These tens of thousands of Hu merchants were held hostage by Huang Chao. The Huang Chao army along the road was attacked by the official army along the road, and was abandoned one after another. There were still a large number of Hu people in Jingchu, Jianghuai, where Tanzhou, Yuezhou, Jiangling, Xiangyang, Hongzhou were located, and there were basically all of them who had plundered Hu merchants and their descendants back then.

Most of them come from Dashi and Persia, which is different from the current Hu people in Chang'an, Luoyang, Bianliang and other places mainly from the Western Regions, Central Asia and beyond.

After Huang Chao returned north, he did not capture Chang'an. He just plundered outside Chang'an City and returned westward. The same is true for Luoyang, which largely retained some vitality for Guanzhong, Zhongyuan.

At that time, Huang Chao's army also swept across the two prefectures of Shinkong, but only Gushi escaped this disaster in the counties of Gwangju.

As soon as Jiang Feng interrupted, Chen Shi naturally did not dare to say more, but he still muttered: "Mr. Yu, I always feel that raiding Shenzhou like Nanyang is just a strategy, so it's not a question of De Yi, right?"

"It depends on this. As the saying goes, small victory depends on wisdom, great success depends on virtue, and soldiers are unwilling to be deceitful. More importantly, it refers to a means of military strategy, and not as a strategic guiding principle. For example, the Yuan family of Caizhou first surrendered to the Zhu family of Bianliang, and then turned against the Shi family of Huaibei. In this case, its prestige and credibility will be greatly affected. Looking at the performance of Yuan family in Guangzhou, it has not been stable yet, because of its injustice and difficulty in submission to the public. Many gentry in Guangzhou would rather stay in Gushi than return to Guangzhou, which is out of distrust of the Yuan family."

Jiang Feng was quite patient. He knew that the two teenagers could perform like this.

After all, due to their academic vision, they were just ordinary soldiers before, and they only had some opportunities after being personal guards. They also strongly encouraged them to express their opinions and opinions. A few days ago, I was afraid that these two people would not say a few words together.

In fact, Jiang Feng also knew that his words were still a bit far-fetched.

If a clan wants to maintain its own survival, it is impossible to "end in one way". It is necessary to make policy and strategic adjustments based on changes in the situation and interests. However, when adjusting the strategy, you need to pay better attention to strategies. That is to say, you must find reasonable reasons to make the people below believe, especially the people at the bottom, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the dilemma of "injustice".

Of course, it is still a bit far away to tell these two guys now, but he is still very happy to see the growth of these two guys.

Seeing that the two were still a little confused, Jiang Feng further said: "The Liu family in Nanyang used to be famous, but the raid on Shenzhou seemed to be a very perfect strategy, but it also stained his unbreakable gold body. This made people think that it would be me who would be betrayed the next time? I think this may not be a good deal for the Liu family in Nanyang, and maybe they will pay a greater price for it."
