Qian Song

Chapter 90 Knife in hand, follow me (read more!)
...

Zhao Song promised to assign the south of the Yangtze River to Li Cun. Will Li Cun accept Zhao Song's offer?

Such a condition, still need to consider? !
Even if Zhao Song doesn't give Li Cun and Zhao Fujin a head start, Li Cun will definitely agree immediately.

It can even be said that even if Li Cunming knew that Zhao Song was planning to delay the attack, Li Cun would definitely agree without hesitation.

Yes.

Now it seems that the right time, place and people are all here with Li Cun.

But don't forget that Li Cun actually only occupies the land of five states in the Liangzhe area.

And in Li Cun's little territory, there is still the nail in Xiuzhou City.

In addition, Fang La did not listen to Li Cun's request to go to the Jingxiang area to develop, but joined hands in Li Cun's territory, and his intent to covet him became more and more obvious.

In addition, those states in southern Zhejiang have now become separatists.

The key is that this is only the Liangzhe area.

You know, there are not only Liangzhe Road south of the Yangtze River, but also Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, and Jingnan South Road and Jinghu North Road that Li Cun asked Fang La to occupy.

And so far, Li Cun barely captured half of the land along the way.

Let's talk about the troops, Li Cun now seems to have an army of nearly 30, but it is still unknown how many of them are actually capable of fighting.

In this case, if Zhao Song is willing to give Li Cun all the south of the Yangtze River, even if it is just a name for Li Cun, no, as long as Zhao Song does not beat Li Cun for the time being, Li Cun will definitely thank the eight generations of Zhao Song ancestors.

Unfortunately, Li Cun knew that Tong Guan would never give him a chance to breathe...

……

Tian Maang left Li Cun's tent in the Chinese army, and immediately a man who looked like a servant came to Tian Maang: "I pay my respects to Uncle Guo, the villain is Yang Xian, a young man running errands in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, where does Uncle Guo want to go? Everyone will arrange it."

"?"

Tian Maung was very surprised: "Didn't Li Cun not have Jianyuan reform? How could this Yang Xian call me Uncle Guo?"

Yang Xian saw Tian Maang's doubts, and said with a smile: "Everyone in my Huben army thought that Fang Lana was restructured in the Yuan Dynasty when all the land in one state was gone. Calling the emperor, so those who are like the uncle of the country, all get the name of the uncle of the country."

Tian Maang understood, Dare to Love was called by members of the Huben Army in private.

But this also shows that the members of the Huben Army hope that Li Cun will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

In fact, this kind of thing is also understandable. If Li Cun does not ascend the throne and become emperor, how can these people under Li Cun rise with the tide?

The most typical example is Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe.

You can say that it was written and directed by Zhao Kuangyin himself.

But also, Zhao Kuangyin didn't wear a yellow robe, how could Zhao Pu and others become princes and generals?
The key is that Fang La is there to compare.

——At the beginning, Fang La didn't even take down the state of Muzhou. He only gathered tens of thousands of people in Qingxi, and then Jianyuan was restructured.Now that Li Cun owns the land of five states and 30 horses, it seems that he should be enthroned and proclaimed emperor.

Tian Maung couldn't help thinking: "If Li Cunzhen ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, my Tian family will also be regarded as ministers of the dragon?"

To be honest, no one from the aristocratic family likes Li Cun.

First of all, everyone's class is different.

Li Cun was born in mud legs.

People from aristocratic families are of noble origin.

It can be said that the people of aristocratic families are born more noble than Li Cun by countless generations.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Li Cun's uprising, which swept half of the Liangzhe area, people like Li Cun would not even look at him.

The second is that Li Cun's uprising was not so much the righteousness of Zhao Song, but the righteousness of these aristocratic families.

Don't forget, the Zhao Song Dynasty (especially the Northern Song Dynasty) was the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together.

The dictatorship of the monarchy in the Northern Song Dynasty actually divided the power beyond the reach of the monarchy through the system, fully guaranteed the final decision-making power of the monarch, and at the same time ensured that the bureaucracy system exerted its maximum effectiveness and made the state machine work well.

And it is the people in the specific system who carry out this process, that is, the scholar-bureaucrat and bureaucratic class.

——Zhao Kuangyin's political orientation of emphasizing literature over military affairs led to the gradual rise of the civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats. This is a group of bureaucrats with Confucian political ideals.

Up to now, scholar-bureaucrat politics with scholar-bureaucrats as the main body has matured, and the power system of the ruling class in the Northern Song Dynasty is actually composed of the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats as two poles, which is the so-called "emperor and scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together."

Moreover, since the uprising, one of the things Li Cun has done the most is to beat local tyrants.

What is playing local tyrants?
To put it bluntly, it is to rob the landlord and gentry class.

Let's put it this way, the landlord and gentry class in the Zhejiang and Zhejiang regions, let alone other things, first of all their land has been robbed by the Huben army. It can be said that none of the landlord and gentry class in Li Cun's site was spared. Captured is a little more brutal, some is captured a little softer.

And what land is, land is the greatest wealth that countless generations of landlords and gentry have used countless means to plunder.

Li Cun snatched the land of the landlord and gentry class and distributed it to the people of the Huben Army, which in itself had already forged a life-and-death enmity.

What's more, how many landlords and gentry has Li Cun killed since his rise?

In this case, the landlord and gentry class must wish to eat Li Cunsheng alive.

You know why Fangla was hacked into pieces after the failure of the upper La uprising in history. In fact, it was because Fang La killed many officials, gentry and nobles.

Again, Li Cun and the aristocratic family are natural opposites.

Ordinarily, Li Cun and the members of the aristocratic family couldn't urinate in the same pot.

However, if Li Cun wants to manage his own territory, he cannot do without the elite talents of these aristocratic families.

How to do?
Let Li Cun return the stolen land to these noble families, and then kneel down and beg these noble families to call them daddy, ask these noble families to donate a few elite talents to help him rule the world?

Do you think, if Li Cun is really such a weak person, can he conquer the world?

Li Cun is certainly not a weak person.

So Li Cun chose another path.

— Knife in hand, follow me.

Li Cun first robbed the daughters of these aristocratic families, forcibly established contact with them, and then used both soft and hard tactics to force these people from the aristocratic families to come out to help him manage the territory he had won.

Li Cun knew that these people from aristocratic families hated him and would not help him wholeheartedly.

Moreover, Li Cun forced the daughters of these aristocratic families, because the law does not blame the public, it may not be considered that they handed over the nomination certificates to Li Cun.

But it doesn't matter, Li Cun has a way to deal with these people from aristocratic families.

Very simple, that is to see the results.

For example, some time ago, farmers were encouraged to plow in the spring.

Li Cun directly told the county officials: I don't care about the process, I only look at the result.

If the number of seedlings sown exceeds the same period last year, I will reward them for their great achievements;
If the number of seedlings sown exceeds [-]% in the same period of last year but does not reach the number of seedlings sown in the same period of last year, it is considered a pass;

If the number of seedlings planted exceeds [-]% in the same period last year but does not reach [-]% in the same period last year, officials in the county will be fined half of their salary and will be put on probation;

If the number of seedlings sown is less than [-]% in the same period last year and exceeds [-]% in the same period last year, all county officials will be dismissed from office and each person will be hit hard by [-]%;
If less than [-]% of the seedlings were sown in the same period last year, the county officials ransacked their homes and executed them.

That's right.

Li Cun used the butcher's knife to coerce the people of these aristocratic families to work for Li Cun.

Li Cun knew that there must be hidden dangers.

But Li Cun also knows that if one day his power becomes real.

These aristocratic families who are coerced by Li Cun will definitely hold their noses to recognize Li Cun as a son-in-law, and will turn their reluctance into willingness.

After all, when Li Cun was able to give them real power and benefits, who would really struggle with power and benefits?
Furthermore, these aristocratic families were robbed of their daughters by Li Cun, and they can barely be said to be victims.

But they helped Li Cun do things, and they did a good job in the end.

In addition, their daughter is indeed Li Cun's concubine.

Just imagine, under such circumstances, how many people would believe that they had nothing to do with Li Cun.

In that case, will they still have a chance to revive and become a big family in Zhao Song?

People from these aristocratic families are all good people, and they won't be unable to figure this out.

Therefore, in the final analysis, it is still whether Li Cun can become a trend.

Like Tian Maung, he couldn't help thinking: "If Li Cunzhen repulsed the Song army and ruled with Zhao Song across the river, instead of being jealous and frustrated in Jiangbei, I might as well go back to Jiangnan to show my strength. After all, we Li Cun and Li Cun are real relatives, Li Cun should not treat me too badly..."
