Yu Yue frowned: "I can understand the idea of ​​the country commanding the gun, but abandoning the family for the country is not good for us. Our aristocratic noble family has always been based on the country. This will destroy the foundation of our aristocratic family. In order to It’s not worth it to seize control of the military and shout such slogans.”

Tao Yuanming sneered and said: "The emperor is the emperor with strong soldiers and the king with spears. Now we are under Liu Yu and at his mercy. It is useless to say anything. If we rely on Qing to talk about Xuan, even ten thousand Liu Yu will not be our opponent." You can make him speechless by sending an eight-year-old child, but now he controls the army by relying on his fighting skills. If we don't shout like this, and if we don't take the initiative to act wholeheartedly for the country, how can we force him to hand over military power? What about making the army the country’s army instead of his private soldiers or even making the leading generals his sworn brothers?”

Yu Yue nodded, but still felt uneasy and said: "In this case, we asked Liu Yu to send someone to control our Yuzhou Army. Could it be that as soon as the slogan is shouted, this person will turn towards us and ignore Liu Yu? We have been friends for many years? Our noble family has to talk about the teacher-student relationship of disciples and former officials, but in the military, we also have to talk about the friendship between superiors and subordinates and the brotherhood of dying on the battlefield."

Tao Yuanming smiled slightly: "Mr. Tao, what I mean is that in the future, the Black Hand Qiankun and the Jingba Party will be integrated into a so-called civil and military fusion organization. What Liu Laozhi and the others were afraid of before was not just that the warriors would be suppressed by the gentry and literati. So leaving the army means losing power and being at the mercy of others? Let’s just shout slogans like this to make these military warriors feel safe. If even the Black Hand Qiankun and the Jingba Party merge into one organization, as they will have power in the future, Only those who can manage the government or command the army can enter, won't they put down their guard and hostility towards us?"

Yu Yue's brows were still furrowed: "Isn't this bad for us? Are warriors and us really on equal terms? Then who has the final say and who rules whom?"

Tao Yuanming laughed: "In this kind of organization, whoever has the ability to govern the country must have more say. The number of generals in the army is definitely lower than that of officials or nobles who hold power in the court." It is far inferior. Just like our court now, with the same rank and civil servants of fifth rank and above, our Jin Dynasty has more than 7,000 people, but the military generals only have more than 2,000 people. If they were combined into one First, how is it possible that the number of people in this measly Beijing Eight Party can be greater than that of the children of so many aristocratic families like us?"

Yu Yue's brows relaxed slightly: "But even so, we, the children of the aristocratic family, are not willing to really mix with these warriors, and even if they mix in, wouldn't they be able to become a noble family like us in the future? Aristocratic family? Can’t we exclude them anymore? "

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "It's just like what was said before about military merit being a title. Many ordinary Beifu Army officers and soldiers got the title and could buy houses and land after returning home, but in the end they couldn't manage it and couldn't make ends meet. Then they could only leave it to us nobles to provide people. Taking care of it is equivalent to returning these lands to the noble families. It is ridiculous to say that uneducated soldiers only know how to fight and kill. How can they have the ability to govern civilly? As long as civil and military forces are combined, in the end, warriors will be able to If they are squeezed out, this organization will end up with only us, the Mafia Qiankun, and there will be no Beijing Eighth Party."

Yu Yue laughed: "Not necessarily. Aren't there many lower-class nobles who also want to join that Lanxiang official school? They also want to serve in the army, join the Beijing Eighth Party, and become Liu Yu's people? I'm afraid these people It’s not easy to squeeze out, like Liu Muzhi, how to squeeze out?”

Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "If they are members of our gentry clan, do you think they are willing to be soldiers and generals for generations? The reason for taking refuge in Liu Yu now is just because Liu Yu has great power and can make rules by himself. If Liu Yu Now that he is no longer in power, does it mean that the senior members of the family have the final say? Even Liu Muzhi will not be able to follow this pattern anymore. Who doesn’t want to pass on wealth to his descendants? Who wants to work hard all his life just for those he doesn’t know? Fighting against the common people? Liu Yu shouted that everyone is equal and saves the common people, but even these common people, once they have the opportunity, they want to ride on others instead of making wedding clothes for others. This is basic human nature. Even gods and Buddhas cannot change it. of."

Yu Yue laughed loudly and said: "That's good. So, we are doing this to use the Black Hand Qiankun to actually swallow up the Jingba Party? So that the generals and colonels of the Jingba Party can also have the status of nobles. , will they abandon Liu Yu and turn to us in the future?"

Tao Yuanming nodded with satisfaction: "It is possible. Liu Laozhi wants to rebel because he has left the army and has accomplished nothing. He does not have the ability to manage local states and counties. He is looking for his subordinates in Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com , are all warriors, with few civilian think tanks, because no nobles want to serve him, so he can only firmly hold the military power in his hands, and he will lead his troops to fight whoever wants to touch his military power. This kind of person is, at best, He is just a warlord in charge of the army. He cannot even divide one side like Huan Wen and have his descendants inherit it."

"But if there was such an organization that merged civil and military affairs at that time, Liu Laozhi directly gave him the status of a noble family, or even a small aristocratic family, and then allowed him to select some children from aristocratic families as staff from the organization, allowing nephews like Liu Jingxuan to continue to stay In the army, he can safely be promoted to a court official, and then this military power can be transferred to the hands of the children of aristocratic families. In order to temporarily stabilize people like Liu Laozhi, some middle-class aristocratic families can even let some tributary concubines and Marriage, in short, just make him feel that he is equal to us and one of our own. This is the correct way to relieve these warriors from military power, that is, make him feel safe first."

Yu Yue had a smile on his face and kept nodding: "It sounds great, but can these warriors really be fooled? They want to sneak in and become like us. I believe this, but as far as they are concerned Does a person who doesn’t even know a few Chinese characters really think he will become a noble?"

Tao Yuanming said calmly: "People are such strange things. The more they think about something, the more they will deceive themselves into thinking that they can do it. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about the Huan family in Jingzhou, starting with Huan Wen's father. , that is, the generals and soldiers who control the army and conquer wars. Although Huan Wen himself has the name of a noble family, everyone in the world regards him as a warrior. He himself also understands that his status as a warrior is the reason for the separatist rule of Jingzhou. But by the time of Huan Xuan, Don’t you just want to be a general or a general, put on makeup, be arty, and want to become a big family again?” (End of this chapter)
