Chapter 854: A Void (5)
The military system of the Jin Dynasty was notably marked by the establishment of governorships in important locations.
He Zongshi set up the ambassador of the festival, but it was only a temporary position, and the position of the chief of the march, the governor of the capital, there was something to lead the troops out to fight, and immediately after the return of the military power, it was not a permanent position, after Xuanzong, began to expand the authority of the ambassador of the festival, and set up several festival envoys on the border, a term of several years or even more than ten years, collectively referred to as the feudal town, the prototype of the feudal town began.
The feudal towns were often in charge of the military power of one or several states, and later gradually expanded their powers, taking charge of civil affairs and finances, and controlling all military and political powers, forming local divisions, often confronting the imperial court.
From the beginning to the present, the history of the feudal town has been almost three hundred years, in such a long time, there has been the decline of the Jin Dynasty, and a certain local feudal town is extremely powerful, and can even be overwhelming the central court, but there are some things, not just military accounts, in terms of political level, a feudal town, how strong he is, is only a place, is a courtier, how weak the court is, he is also orthodox, is the center.
Therefore, since Wuzong, the state of the Jin Dynasty has become weaker and weaker, and the number of local feudal towns has increased, but in this more than 100 years, most of the feudal towns have not been divided, only the five major feudal towns in Hebei have been separated independently, but even if the feudal towns are divided to a large extent, the policies and decrees of the Jin Dynasty are largely implemented, "the prestige of the court officials must be used to secure the military situation", and the feudal towns will also change with the changes of the current situation, and see the opportunity to lift the separation, such as after the end of the first Longyou War, the imperial court won a big victory, The five major feudal towns in Hebei immediately sent envoys to the court to congratulate them, and took the initiative to ask the imperial court to send officials to Hebei to take up posts, and returned part of the personnel rights of Hebei to the imperial court.
So that after the victory of the Second Longyou War, the military prestige of the Jin Dynasty reached its peak, and the major feudal towns in the world were shaken, and many feudal towns were congratulated and expressed their hope to return to Beijing to report on their work.
Insert a sentence, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources, all books, and fast updates!
Everything changes with the changes of the times, if you are strong, I will be weak, and if you are weak, I will naturally be strong, the truth has always been this truth.
On the economic level, the feudal envoys were self-reliant in the capacity of feudal officials, and their financial base depended on the state's tax revenues, and their military force relied on the legal belonging to the national army, the so-called guanjian.
Therefore, the feudal towns in the feudal towns tried to be free from the central court, but they could not completely negate the central rule.
From the landowner's point of view, there was no practical economic difference between whether the taxes were paid to the imperial court or to the feudal towns. In the same way, in the form of paying a certain amount of taxes, the surplus value created by the people was divided with the government, and under the control of the arrogant domain, no more economic benefits could be obtained under the rule of the central court.
Therefore, the large landowners have always had a negative attitude towards the feudal envoys of the feudal towns and towns, which is determined by their own objective economic interests.
In the fifth year of Chengping, during the battle of Jiangnan, Yang Liecheng rebelled, and Huang Qian was ordered to quell the rebellion.
In the final analysis, in today's world, its land annexation has reached the limit, a large number of people have no land to plant, in order to make a living, they can only find another way, they are born at the bottom, their choice level is obviously less pitiful, being a soldier is undoubtedly the best way out, which is why many feudal towns are envoys, the reason why the source of soldiers is inexhaustible.
As early as the 14th year of Guangyuan, with the reconstruction of the forbidden army system gradually complete, the central government was full of finance, Yang Daosi and Liu Ji and others, on the issue of land annexation, already had the idea and plan to carry out reform, after making a detailed plan, Yang Daosi and several other ministers successively wrote to Zhao Zhi, and got Zhao Zhi's support and affirmation.
Unfortunately, just as the reform plan was about to be implemented, a large-scale riot interrupted everything.
In Zhao Zhi's later years, although a series of brilliant victories were achieved in the military, the central financial problems have become more and more difficult and serious.
Li Xun once sighed that if the generation of Zhao Zhi and Yang Daosi could live for ten more years, with their ability and prestige, the country would definitely be improved to a certain extent, and the number of feudal towns in the world could be reduced by at least more than half, but unfortunately, all this can only be hypothetical.
"Zhiwen, we can be said to have come out of the nest this time, with all our strength, and the manpower and material resources that we have accumulated for so many years, all of them have been taken out, and after exterminating Cheng Xihei, will the emperor agree to our request?"
Huang Baichuan has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, almost all of them are brought, this war, no matter how he wins or loses, he has to reward his soldiers, Caizhou is very poor, Huang Baichuan has accumulated more than ten years of wealth, and it is only enough for these.
Huang Zhiwen was silent for a moment, and then said: "In today's court, the situation is complicated, and no one can predict what will happen in advance, so if you ask me so, I can't give you a positive answer, but there is one point..."
Speaking of this, Huang Zhiwen looked up at Huang Baichuan: "If we don't even have the courage to gamble, then surrender to Wang Huailie as soon as possible and be one of his dogs, at least we can save our lives." ”
Hearing this, Huang Baichuan had a smile on his face, if he only wanted wealth and stability, he already had it, and now that he was leading the troops, what Huang Baichuan wanted was naturally not these.
"You persuaded me to send troops two hours late, but are you going to let Cheng Xisi fight with the imperial army?"
Cheng Xisi's situation, Huang Baichuan has figured it out, Cheng Xisi has 50,000 troops in his hands, but only 20,000 have arrived in Jinyang, where did the remaining 30,000 troops go? This is easy to guess, it must be towards the follow-up 20,000 forbidden troops sent by the imperial court.
Huang Zhiwen said lightly: "The icing on the cake, anyone can do it, only by sending charcoal in the snow can others be more grateful to us, the 20,000 forbidden troops sent by the imperial court, I don't know the situation, I am afraid that I will lose the battle if I rush to Jinyang in such a hurry." ”
Huang Baichuan said: "The 10,000 troops sent by the imperial court in advance are still in Dazhou, which is interesting. ”
Huang Zhiwen shook his head and said, "Yan Yi is still too young, and he believed Lu Feng's lies, so he actually went to Dazhou and Chengzhou to gather troops. ”
Yan Yi, as the general of Zhengdong, originally led 10,000 forbidden troops to rush to Jinyang, but on the way, he received a letter from Lu Feng, saying that there was enough food and grass in Jinyang City, but there was a lack of soldiers.
Where did Yan Yi think that Lu Feng had already conspired with Cheng Xisi, and Cheng Xisi only took two days to go all the way north, like a bamboo, and the troops were fast, and he went directly to the city of Jinyang City, and at this time, Yan Yi had just collected the army and was preparing to rush to Jinyang City.
