Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Yu Yue's face was covered with sweat. He took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat beads. At this moment, the tragic scene when Wang Yu's family was wiped out came to his eyes again. He kept saying: "Thank you, Mr. Tao, for reminding me. Thank you, Mr. Tao, for reminding me. Just now, I was just angry for a moment and said nothing. Now that we don't have the power we had before, we definitely can't do this. But, I still can't swallow this breath. Is it such a betrayal?" Just let my guy go like this? Then will other slaves and farmers and tenants follow suit and defect one after another? If this kind of thing becomes popular, who will be left here in the future? "

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "Don't worry about it, Mr. Yu. The state's national laws naturally have corresponding measures to deal with fugitive slaves and people who ruin the contract of selling themselves into slaves. Those traitors under your subordinates, if there is no order from Liu Daogui to transfer to Zhu Chaoshi's subordinates, no matter how brave they are, they would not dare to rebel against you like this. It is only because they have military orders to go to other people's subordinates that they dare to leave you. From this point of view, although it is a betrayal of you, but It does not violate the military orders of the country. It is not in the nature of defection and mutiny."

"As for their family members, they are still a population that has not registered with the state and is a hidden household. Although the identities of these sergeants have been registered and recognized by the state because of their military service, their wives and children have not been confirmed. You cannot Take the initiative to expose the existence of these people, otherwise your Yu family will break the law, and the best way to deal with it is to let these sergeants get their wives and children from you after receiving rewards and military pay from Zhu Chaoshi, or in other words, You should show a high attitude and return these women and children directly to these soldiers without this ransom."

Yu Yue immediately shouted: "How can this be done? I can't punish these traitors, but I have to send their families back? Then wouldn't I become a big joke? How can I manage these servants in the future?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "You also know that these are just women and children. They can't do anything. Instead, they consume a lot of your food. You used to hold them in the manor in Wudi because you wanted to use them as hostages to save the tribes ahead." The soldiers were obedient, but now they have rebelled and mutinied. The hostages are of little significance. If you kill these women and children to vent your anger or sell them elsewhere, these soldiers will hate you to the core, and at the very least they will report it to the court. If you expose these things about killing people and selling people in hiding, even if you vent your anger for a moment, it will destroy the entire Yu family, because the power is now in Liu Yu's hands, unlike before."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Then I will continue to hold them captive. Liu Daogui asked my subordinates to switch to Zhu Chaoshi. It was just a temporary transfer order during the war. I brought these people out of Wu Di, and they are mine anyway. After the battle, I should be the one to manage and rule the officers. Moreover, I fought guerrillas in Jiangzhou for a year and attacked the demon thieves' logistics. Even though there were some problems in running the army, my military achievements were still real. If I were to When chasing the demon thief, I successfully built an army again and achieved military exploits. Is there any reason not to let these three thousand parts return to me?"

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "In troubled times, having soldiers and generals means having power. This is a tacit thing. Tribes that are annexed by others will basically never come back. Don't think about it. , unless Zhu Chaoshi is also transferred to your account to take orders. Do you think it is possible? "

Yu Yue said bitterly: "Then if I don't get back the troops I took away from others, and Liu Yi's old troops I recruited will leave at any time, will I never hope to build my own army in this life?"

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Of course not, Mr. Yu, don't be so pessimistic. These sergeants are looking down on you now. On the one hand, you are not good at running an army. On the other hand, you are not like these Beifu generals who have independently commanded and fought." You have won many battles and won the trust of the soldiers. After all, you are the head of a noble family. Young Master, you are not a general. You are naturally separated from the soldiers."

Yu Yue said unconvinced: "Then Xie Xuan is just like me. When he formed the Beifu Army, how could he let Liu Yu and the others follow him and die for him wholeheartedly?"

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "Oh, you mentioned Xie Xuan and Xie An, that's good. Then the Xie family is willing to let Wang Miaoyin marry a soldier, which daughter of your Yu family is willing to pay?"

Yu Yue felt as if he had received a 10,000-point critical hit, and was unable to speak. After a while, he murmured: "Isn't this just Liu Yu?"

Tao Yuanming shook his head: "There is only one Wang Miaoyin, but the Xie family has given enough face to the other soldiers, at least on the surface. Xie Xuan, Liu Laozhi, Sun Wuzhong, and Zhu Qianzhi are brothers. He was given enough benefits within his authority. You must know that Liu Laozhi, Sun Wuzhong and others before joining Beifu and entering the Xie family, they were just some bandits and bandits in Huaibei. Xie Xuan and Xie Yan entered these villages alone many times. , not only gave them a lot of food and grass supplies, ordnance and armor, but also promised to get enough official positions from the court for them to promote these people to generals and other positions. This moved Liu Laozhi and the others to find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com is willing to serve, may I ask Mr. Yu, what benefits have you given these three thousand servants of yours?"

Yu Yue murmured: "I, I gave them identities, I let them register, I, I also took care of their families, and promised that if they have meritorious service, I will give them rewards, and if they die in battle, I will give them If you are injured, our Yu family will support you for the rest of your life."

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "These conditions you gave are just the ordinary conditions for recruiting soldiers in the Jin Dynasty. Now it is different from the past. Liu Yu has clearly promulgated the national law, prohibiting the previous behavior of tenants, farmers, and customers." , as long as they can escape from your manor, they can obtain the status of free people. Liu Yu will arrange for them to go to Jiangbei to get a piece of land and support themselves. It is not that they cannot live without your manor. It is you, the aristocratic families, who have oppressed the homeless villagers too much. It has been so long that you have taken this illegal thing for granted, and it has been so long that you have allowed these people to obtain the civilian status that the national law should have given them."

Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "Yes, I admit that what I gave was not as generous as that of the Xie family, but the Xie family was like raising tigers and did not know the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors. Not to mention people like Liu Yu who later became independent and made mistakes, even Liu Yue After all, people like Sun Wuzhong didn't come out to support the Xie family when they needed help the most, so what am I going to do to support these white-eyed wolves?"
