The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 107 Liu Tai’s Strategy

No matter what, as long as you give these people a way to survive and don't block the road, most people will be able to accept their own mediocrity, and the grievances of these people will not be directed at Liu Tai.

Compared with this group of prisoners, they only farmed for one year and were released after serving their sentences. The common people who were begging for survival did not have such a good opportunity.

Even if they sacrificed human lives because of the Jin court and lost everything because of the locust plague, they destroyed the social stability of Qingzhou and even committed cannibalism.

Even if it is true that Liu Tai, the mastermind behind the crime, has a share, Liu Taizhen feels that he has no psychological burden. Without his own operations, more people would die in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and now he is doing his best to save people. .

To a certain extent, it can be said that the one who steals the hook kills the one who steals the country.

Liu Tai felt that although they were forced to survive, their guilt was heavier than that of the soldiers under Gou Xi's command.

Therefore, these beggar soldiers need to serve for three years, and Liu Tai needs to make them understand that their behavior is wrong.

At least don't let any thieves think that as long as they occupy the mountain and become the king, they will be able to have official positions immediately after the imperial decree.

If you are wrong, you are wrong and you need to be punished.

To be honest, at least there was no objection within the Beggar Army to Liu Tai's arrangement.

Especially after they discovered that they could eat two meals as long as they worked, they became more motivated to work.

"However, when they finish serving their sentences, they will need to find jobs for them!" Liu Tai couldn't help but think deeply.

Liu Tai did not want to extend the land equalization system and the government military system to all the people, because he could not let all his soldiers serve as soldiers.

If the equalization of land and the military system are carried out too far, it will be very troublesome to correct them in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is the issue of land annexation. If the land is given to the people, under the Matthew effect, the land will inevitably be swallowed up by aristocratic families that occupy more land.

Therefore, Liu Tai felt that it was better to keep the land in the hands of the country he represented, and then guide the people to go to industry or service industries instead of being tied to the land.

Liu Tai thought of this and thought that after the winter wheat was harvested, he should start a new project.

Just when Liu Tai was thinking about something, he soon heard that Chu Hui was back. With him, in addition to the Chu Hui tribe, there was also a Feng Shui master named Guo Pu.

Liu Tai couldn't help being stunned when he heard the name, and met Guo Pu in person, "Are you Guo Pu from the Wenxi Guo family in Hedong?!"

"Pu has met Liu Qingzhou!" Guo Pu also looked at Liu Tai's excited expression with some surprise.

He couldn't help but use his physiognomy to look at Liu Tai's face, but it looked like a dragon. But now it was at the level of seeing a dragon in the field, but Guo Pu didn't dare to say anything more.

"Is it really Guo Pu?" Liu Tai had tears in his eyes. It's not easy to find someone he knows in this era.

Because my hometown in my previous life had a tourist attraction dedicated to Guo Pu, I knew Guo Pu personally.

My only impression of him was that he was from the Jin Dynasty, but I had forgotten the specific time, but I didn't expect that such a person would actually come to his door. Liu Tai couldn't help but sigh, what a blessing from God!

"I heard that sir is good at Feng Shui and Guan Yu. I wonder if you would like to join the army temporarily under my command?" Liu Tai said to Guo Pu, "Do your best to build Qingzhou."

"Pu Ding will serve." Guo Pu did not expect that Liu Tai would do things on his own, but he had no intention of refusing.

For Guo Pu, since the tribesmen have migrated to Liu Tai's service, it is natural for him to work under Liu Tai.

Compared with other people, it requires various reasons to persuade, but for Guo Pu, if you want him to be effective, at least you need to pass Guo Pu's physiognomy.

If he sees your face and thinks you have no future, then Guo Pu will not agree to anything you say, but if your face is golden with purple or something, Guo Pu will be willing to do it with you.

Although Liu Tai's appearance is not as good as Liu Cong, Sima Ruishile and so on, in Guo Pu's opinion, he still has great potential.

There is no way, this is the reality for Guo Pu, or to a certain extent, he only believes in his research on yin and yang numerology.

After arranging an official position for Guo Pu, Liu Tai immediately called Chu Hui, Zhang Song, and Cao Yi over.

To a certain extent, these three people can be regarded as his own civil servants.

Liu Tai looked at the three people and said, "Everyone, as the winter wheat is harvested, I plan to release Gou Xi to repair the relationship between us and the Jin court, mainly the relationship with Sima Rui in the south!"

"Sima Rui is Sima Yue's direct descendant. Gou Xi and Sima Yue have broken up. Isn't their relationship going to be bad?" Zhang Song came to his senses and said to Liu Tai worriedly.

Liu Tai looked at a few people and originally thought that he needed to explain to them that his actions would definitely make the Huns and Han Kingdom unhappy.

But each one of them actually accepted so quickly that he planned to have an affair with Sima Rui?
The world is really in a declining state, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. But if you think it's you who did this, then it'll be fine.

In fact, Cao Yi originally wanted to join the Eastern Jin Dynasty in history, but in Zhang Song's view, after the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom chose Shi Le, it would be unrealistic for Liu Tai to be loyal to the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom again. As for Chu Hui This further encouraged Liu Tai to turn to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"It doesn't matter!" Liu Tai shook his head and said, "I just need to let Sima Rui know that I can fight for it."

"Then shall we send people to secretly monitor Gou Xi?" Zhang Song asked, "to prevent him from backlash in the future."

Liu Tai waved his hand and said: "It's enough to arrange for the soldiers to be given to him. Whatever the military strategists want for their work, they will naturally get it on the battlefield!"
Although Gou Xi's ability is high, I don't think Sima Rui and Director Wang have the courage to hold this sword.

Sima Rui does not support Gou Xi. No matter how strong Gou Xi is, he is only a general. His own ability will be restricted by the size of his subordinates. "

It's not that Liu Tai looks down on Gou Xi, but Liu Tai looks down on the Sima family, and no matter how talented they are, they can't show their true strength.

On the contrary, those who dare to break with the Sima family and then rely on themselves are even more terrifying.

After all, the Sima family is probably the last among the aristocratic families in terms of ambition, but when it comes to scheming and stabbing their own people, the Sima family has inherited its own excellent traditions very well. Any famous general in their hands will be defeated sooner or later. .

As for Liu Tai's checks and balances on Gou Xi, he just handed over those soldiers who were rejected from the army and did not want to stay in Qingzhou to Gou Xi.

It would be impossible to brainwash all of them into rebelling against the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty in this year, otherwise they would not leave.

But the more important thing is to let them know that surrendering to themselves is not a bad choice next time they fight against them.

That's enough.This makes the soldiers' fighting spirit less strong when they fight against him again. Especially when fighting certain fierce battles that require willpower to persevere, these soldiers can easily become a weak point.

Of course, after Gou Xi learned this lesson, he would definitely discover the weaknesses of his soldiers.

But the question is, can you correct this weakness once you know it?

This is a group of veterans who can survive not only a hundred battles, but at least ten battles.

Any general who meets them will know how valuable these people are, not to mention that Gou Xi now has no soldiers and power and is in need of manpower.

And in the future, even if he gradually becomes bigger, even if he wants to select talents, most of these veterans who surrendered to Liu Tai will definitely be selected first.

After all, the new recruits were wasted too much on the battlefield, and there was no reason for him to bypass the veterans to select new recruits and promote them to become corps commanders or field commanders. This would inevitably cause instability in the morale and organizational structure of the entire army.

Therefore, even if Gou Xi knew that the medicine given by Liu Tai was poisonous, she would still swallow it first.

But for Liu Tai, the most important thing is to teach these people "Han Shu" to awaken the ideological consciousness of the Han nation, so as to reduce resistance when he needs to deal with Sima Rui in the future.

The crusade against Sima Rui by oneself must be done very later, but before raising troops to crusade, the ideas of counter-Jin and restoration of the Han Dynasty, or the ideas of Han nationalism, can be spread to Sima Rui's forces first.

Seeing Liu Tai's confidence, Chu Hui nodded and said, "Gou Xi's golden body has been broken. Although he is still a good general, he is no longer as intimidating as before.

Moreover, he leads the army according to the law, and it will not happen overnight if he wants to restore the military strength. However, where is the general going to put him? "

"South of Langya!" Liu Tai said frankly, "Let him be the barrier between us and Sima Rui."

"If so, is the Duke preparing to make plans for the land of Youji?!" Chu Hui quickly understood what Liu Tai meant. Liu Tai chose Gou Xi as his southern barrier, which naturally revealed Liu Tai's strategy.

"I will tell you my thoughts, which are also our next strategies, and you will be responsible for supplementing them!" Liu Tai said.

After hearing Liu Tai's words, everyone present could not help but feel solemn at the moment.

Because they all know that what Li Tai said is probably similar to Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's "Longzhong Duel", which has become the future development direction of this force such as himself and others.

Originally, this kind of thing should be told to the lord by the counselor present, but it is simply unheard of for the lord to tell the lord like Liu Tai. If the lord is only 16 years old now, it will be even more evil!

But no matter how evil you are, since Liu Tai already has his own plan, everyone can only listen first.

Liu Tai said: "With the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty conquering Luoyang, it has become a fact that the Jin court lost its deer.

It can be seen from the attitude of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty towards my uncle that they do not trust us Han people.

They hope that we Han people will check and balance with other foreign races, and then the Xiongnu will judge our actions from a higher position and play with our destiny! "

"Those who are not of my race must have different minds. This has been the case since ancient times!" Chu Hui nodded after hearing Liu Tai's words.

"But the fall of Luoyang to China's Luchen has become a fact, and it is foreseeable that alien races will be galloping across the land of China!"

Liu Tai said, "The Xiongnu Han Kingdom did not find a way to deal with the relationship between us Han people and other foreign races. On the contrary, they just wanted to steal the name of the Han people, but in fact they acted like the Xiongnu. If the contradiction between the two is not resolved, believe me, the Xiongnu Han people Sooner or later the country will change!"

Several people present looked at each other and agreed with Liu Tai's words.

At least from this perspective, the conflict between Wang Mi and Shi Le was, to a certain extent, just a small outbreak of the Han-Hu conflict.

Liu Tai continued, "So whoever can solve this point can unify the north. I believe this from beginning to end."

"General, do you have any good ideas?" After hearing Liu Tai's words, Chu Hui sighed at the depth of Liu Tai's thinking and couldn't help but ask.

"There is no foolproof strategy for the time being, but if I agree with this basic analysis, then I will propose my basic strategy!" Liu Tai said seriously as he looked at everyone at this time.

The three of them looked at each other, but they also knew that Liu Tai already had an idea in mind, so they said, "Please, Governor."

Liu Tai didn't say much, but took out a map at this time, and then took out a pen, and then drew a circle on a map and said, "We need to capture Jizhou and seize Youyou." state……"

Everyone nodded secretly when they saw this sequence. If they wanted to seize the world, they also believed that they needed to seize the land of Youji, then go south, then annex the states, obtain the land of the four states, and then go south all the way, just like Liu Xiu. Take the same path as the world.

Of course, there are negative examples, such as Yuan Shao, who also followed this path, but was pushed by Cao Cao.

However, Liu Tai turned the brush in his hand and said, "And take the land of Pingzhou!"

"Pingzhou? Liaodong Kingdom?!" The three people present were really shocked when they heard Liu Tai's words!

"That's right, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Pingzhou, these four states just surround the Bohai Sea!" Liu Tai said,

"I will temporarily call this Bohai Bay, and this will become the foundation for our future conquests in the world."

Chu Hui looked at the entire circle circled by Liu Tai's pen and pressed his head. Chu Hui had never thought about the entire Bohai Bay.

"Young people really dare to think!" Zhang Song looked at the circle drawn by Liu Tai and didn't know how to complain.

In contrast, Cao Yi's strategic vision was really inferior to Chu Hui's, but he really came from the bottom, and he only recognized Liu Tai when he really recognized the land equalization system and the government military system promulgated by Liu Tai.

Therefore, he believed that Liu Tai, who could come up with such a system, was definitely not just talking nonsense, but actually had his own considerations. He said solemnly, "Please elaborate, please, Lord!"

Liu Tai saw that these people did not accept his ideas at all, but he could understand them.

After all, if you don’t have a modern perspective, you won’t be able to see that outside of the Sichuan Basin, Guanzhong Basin, North China Plain, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, the fifth foundation for world hegemony is the entire Bohai Bay Economic Zone.

Because other places only need farming, but what the entire Bohai Bay Economic Zone needs is the development of the navigation industry.

Think of the entire Bohai Sea as a big bathtub. If troops need to be dispatched anywhere, the required resources can be directly put into any place in the entire Bohai Bay in the shortest time, thus forming an absolute local force to suppress others!
