Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Liu Yu said nothing for a long time, and it took a long time before he sighed: “It’s really the people who suffer from prosperity and death. It is so good to force people into the army or sell them as slaves.”

Liu Muzhi said coldly: “There is no free lunch in the world. Send slaves. You want to go northward because of family ancestry. But you know, the vast majority of people in the world do not have this idea. They only Thinking about his wife and children’s hot kangtou, after paying taxes every year, they will be content without being bullied. As for whether this tax is paid to the Han emperor or the Hu King, is there a difference? “

Liu Yu said bitterly: “People must not forget their ancestors, even if they are small people, they should not rule the Hu people in this way, and they are accustomed to this kind of thinking. I cannot understand and accept this kind of thinking.”

Liu Muzhi sighed: “Junu, because you and I are scholars after all, even if you are in the middle of the family, you are also a scholar, with various privileges and benefits, just like you, if you are not a son of a scholar, After taking on the heavy taxation and hard work, would you still think of the Northern Expedition like this all the time? I ’m afraid that you have to eat a full stomach and not starve to death. That ’s what you have to consider all day long. ”

There was a trace of helplessness in Liu Yu’s eyes: “People are short and poor, sometimes it’s true, but I still think that a big husband who has a good life, like my brothers in the Beifu army, will still find a way to serve the country from the army. To win a wealth for yourself and to lay a large area for the country. “

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: “No one thinks so except for the refugees heading south from the north. Therefore, the Beifu Army is almost all the northern refugees, the people in the two Huaiwu, the people in the Three Wu lands, except for the aquatic. Family servants who want to change their destiny by joining the army, who has joined the army? “

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: “So, is it the only option to force people into the army?”

Liu Muzhi nodded: “The truth is cruel, but that’s it. I told you last time that this time, the soldiers of the Beifu Army worked hard, made merits, got rewards, and then let them return to the battlefield. It ’s not very realistic. I want to stay. I ’m afraid that there will be some people who have been promoted to military ranks and want to make a name for themselves in the military. , Most will not stay. “

Liu Yu said disdainfully: “If the purpose of life is only these, then why stay in the hometown, why should you join the army?”

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: “You must know that the refugees in Lianghuai were originally not allowed to cross the river. In the place of Lianghuai, it was the place where Qin and Jin sawed back and forth. It was a bitter day. However, this time the victory over Qin Kingdom, the emperor ordered that the effective soldiers of the North House, all allowed to settle down across the river, buy land and buy property. Otherwise, why do you think they would join the army? “

Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: “There is such a thing? Why haven’t I heard anyone say?”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: “Because the Feibao camp you stayed in was dominated by the diasporas in Jingkou from the beginning, it was rarely like Liu Laozhi, the old ministry called directly from Lianghuai naturally did not face such a problem. Question, so you think everyone will continue to stay in the army like the Jiangnan people such as bottles, rabbits, and iron bulls. In fact, most Beifu army soldiers, after this war, will take money and settle in Jiangnan. . “

Liu Yu was silent for a while: “If the army really disbanded like this, and most of the sergeants returned to their hometowns, then what about the Northern Expedition? Even if something happened in the North, and Dajin wanted to go Northern Expedition again, and lacked the most basic military resources, how could it happen? I know that our Beifu Army has such a combat capability, but it was not available when it first joined the army. It was through more than a year of rigorous training. Under the whip and sticks of the uncle, they were trained with blood and sweat. ‘S skill. “

Liu Muzhi smiled and waved his hand: “How can there be such a long period of preparation and training as the Beifu Army? The military orders of the courts were completed after ten days and a half months, and the whole army set off. Normal. Like the Qin Kingdom going south this time, millions of troops, more than half of them are ordinary people of all ethnic groups who have n’t seen the war much. It ’s up to you, the war-torn people, as officers to train the people who first entered the army, For a month or two, let them learn how to form an array and how to do basic tactical moves. This is okay. “

Liu Yu hooked his mouth and said: “This is okay, but the combat power has dropped too much. With such an army, can it really succeed? I am a little worried.”

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: “If you want to go northward, there will not be any strong army in the north, there will definitely be melee fights everywhere, there are thousands of miles of smoke, there will be no more regular Qin army regular troops during the battle of Fei Shui, Even more difficult than that, Peng Chao ’s quality of their army is much worse, the level on both sides will be greatly reduced, you have nothing to worry about. The cost of maintaining elite soldiers is too high, just analyzed with you, and after the war There is no fighting spirit in the army. Do you feel like they still want to fight? “

Liu Muzhi pointed his finger at the camp, the tents that shook the mountains, and the provocative cries and laughter of the prostitutes spread all over the big camp, while the naked soldiers of the Beifu army surrounded them. Sitting together, drinking and eating meat, while exchanging the romantic experience just now, the Beifu Military Camp at this time is not so much a military camp as a huge one, its endless spring ~ www.wuxiax.com ~ The Heaven-Man Intercourse Conference in front of the Jiangkou Temple in Jingkou a year ago was more than that.

Liu Muzhi said with a smile: “Wake up, send a slave, rely on these brothers who have been drunk and lying in the gentle township, and their brains are only thinking of enjoyment. It is impossible to win the battle. It ’s only going to hurt people. You know better than me. If you really want to go northward, you have to find a group of new recruits who are hungry and thirsty for victory and the benefits after victory. You have no choice but to do so? “

Liu Yu closed his eyes and sighed for a long time: “Fat man, you are right, thank you, and I have gained a lot of knowledge. It seems that the Northern Expedition is my wishful thinking, I only considered it I did n’t think about people ’s minds in my own mind. Now, what should I do? “

Liu Muzhi’s fat face opened his eyes slowly: “Family established a career, established a firm foothold in the military, selected loyal to his own tunes, and next time he went north, he brought his staff directly, In the army, you can command thousands of troops at once, just like Liu Laozhi this time, there will be a battle next time, try to be a general. I think that what the Xie family needs is also a man who can help them master The army ’s Liu Yu, instead of relying solely on blood, shouted to the northward expatriates. “

Liu Yu opened his eyes and the light flashed: “Don’t say it, after tomorrow’s reward, follow me into the city to buy people.”
