Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 4952: Compromise is the basis for governing the country

Liu Muzhi said seriously: "Yes, the people are the foundation of our country, and the army is the pillar of our country. Once the morale of the people and the military is lost, the country will be ruined. These men of Yu Yue are not only reselling military rations and bullying soldiers, Moreover, he colluded with demon thieves and caused public outrage, so he must be punished decisively. However, you need to retain enough evidence here to make a solid case, so that no one will make a fuss about this matter in the future."

Liu Daogui said in a deep voice: "All the people in the city and their confessions are here. I don't expect anyone to dare to raise a problem on this matter. As for Yu Yue, he was not involved in these crimes, but he was not strict with his subordinates and was greedy for his own purposes." He lived in comfort and indulged in the crimes committed by his subordinates, so he was captured by me in the end and imprisoned in Jiangling Station. I did not put him in jail, which is already a great honor to him."

Liu Muzhi frowned: "You didn't put Yu Yue in jail, but you shouldn't let him stay at the inn. He can come into contact with many outsiders, and there may be variables."

Liu Daogui shook his head: "Yu Yue is unlikely to want to escape at this time. Once Tianshi Dao retreats, there will be no external force to help him. I originally planned to deal with him after the battle and send troops to return him to Jianshi Kang, now that you’re here, these won’t be a problem and can be handed over to you.”

Liu Muzhi waved his hand: "I came here in secret this time. I didn't want to make any announcement. Just now, I asked Tan Daoji and Wang Zhenzhi to keep it strictly confidential. Put aside Yu Yue's matter for the time being. His subordinates are all now Now that they are under the command of Zhu Chaoshi, what are you going to do with the remaining sergeants in the future?"

Liu Daogui curled his lips and said: "I am going to take a step back with Yu Yue and handle this matter properly. He must not vent his anger and revenge on the families of these sergeants, but send them back to Jingzhou. I will let Zhu Chaoshi command these sergeants. In the future, we will help them change their names and settle down in Jingzhou. Those who want to be common people will be given land and go home to farm. Those who want to continue to be soldiers will be registered as soldiers and soldiers and continue to join the army in the future. However, they I need to change my file and name to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future. Fatty, can you help me make this easier?"

Liu Muzhi said in a deep voice: "Generally, only slaves and prisoners of war are allowed to change their names after they have performed meritorious services. You want to do this for these two thousand people. Is it necessary?"

Liu Daogui sighed: "Although their matter was motivated by justice, it was an act of betraying their master as a slave. I'm afraid that Yu Yue and other aristocratic families would not be allowed to do this, and they would have to settle accounts afterwards. Therefore, I want to use the reason that these people's mutiny was to deal with the spies in the army, and describe the kidnapping of Yu Yue as the people on the left and right who wanted to cause trouble and kidnap him, but his servants rescued him in time. After killing him, Zhu Chaoshi finally took over the army and sent Yu Yue back to Jiangling to recuperate. In this way, everyone would have face, and on the surface they could reconcile."

"But as you said, I am afraid that the aristocratic family will not allow these people to betray. If they still walk in the world with their real names, then I am afraid that on the surface they will release the people and return their families, but secretly they may send assassins and The secret guards came to assassinate and eliminate these people to scare other tenant farmers. Fatty, you have been a spy for so long, you should understand that I am not bragging."

Liu Muzhi sighed softly: "I understand what you mean. You want to protect these soldiers and are afraid that the noble families will take revenge on them. However, hiding their names is not the answer. They can always find out who changed their names. If people are dispersed into farmers and the like, it will be difficult to escape such pursuit. The only way to cure the root cause is to make Yu Yue completely stop issuing these pursuit orders."

Liu Daogui closed his eyes and murmured: "In other words, do we still have to make some deals with Yu Yue to satisfy him? This world is still the world of aristocratic families, not the world we want, right? "

Liu Muzhi said calmly: "Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. The world of aristocratic families has existed for hundreds of years before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty was the time when the aristocratic families were the most powerful. Now, although we have a bright future Military power, but in times of peace, all kinds of intelligence, spies, secret guards and the like are impossible to guard against. As a general, he is protected by Chinese army guards and personal soldiers. It is difficult to attack these people, but if he is an ordinary sergeant, he will go home. If you work as a farmer or become a military household, then you have to rely on yourself to protect yourself. Can you still protect yourself?"

Speaking of this, Liu Muzhi sighed: "Even if he is as strong as your elder brother, after Jingkou Jianyi, when facing the high-ranking family, he can only compromise first, but many things he wants to do cannot be done, because he cannot do without Without their cooperation, we cannot be our enemies at this time. In Yu Yue's situation, he is already considered a more advanced member of the family and even the leader. If such a person is forced to be against us, it will definitely It’s not your fault or mine.”

Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "How to compromise and negotiate is a matter between my eldest brother and your fat prime minister. If you need me to do anything, even bow my head and apologize to Yu Yue, your order is that for the sake of the world that eldest brother dreams of, I have been wronged. It's nothing. There's just a bottom line, that is, the two thousand soldiers under Zhu Chaoshi's current command will never be returned to Yu Yue. You and I both know that if you hand them back, you want them. Life!"

Liu Muzhi nodded: "I will do this. In the name of garrison after the handover of the troops, I will not return to the original organization. As long as I can provide conditions that satisfy Yu Yue enough, I think he can let him go." This time, otherwise just to vent his anger and retaliate against these subordinates who betrayed him will not restore his reputation, but will end up with a reputation of being narrow-minded, and we, the Jingba brothers, will also seek revenge from him."

Liu Daogui sighed: "The demon thieves haven't been eliminated yet. Isn't it too early to think about dividing the interests after the war? Yu Yue's contribution to the Jiangzhou guerrillas is not enough to make him a general or a general. He is a high-ranking official like the Governor of Dazhou. I advise you to take him back to Jiankang for resettlement first, and then give him a court official in the future. Don't let him be divided into two sides of the town."

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "We will discuss this later after I meet him, and I'm afraid Yu Yue may not be willing to return to Beijing like this. According to my information, after he restored contact with the capital, he asked his Yu family to The clansmen continued to raise money and food, build weapons, and spread rumors that Yu Yue had defeated the enemy at the front and made great achievements in battle. Now they want the second batch of reinforcements to come over to expand the results. Based on my understanding of Yu Gong, this loss, He can't eat it, so he must want to get it back himself." ()
