Chapter 60: Blank Promises
"The people have had, and they are giving to one person!" Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that Wei Chen is so annotated by the Mandate of Heaven, right?" โ
After all, Li Jiancheng is Li Yuan's eldest son, even if Li Yuan did not have the heart to rebel in the early years, Li Jiancheng was also cultivated as the next patriarch of the Li family, and Li Jiancheng instantly understood what Chen Ying meant. Thousands of high-rise buildings, not rising from the ground, since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Li Jiancheng's destiny is the desire of the people.
If Pei Ju also questioned Li Jiancheng's political sense, in fact, he was questioning Li Jiancheng's decisive ability. Can Li Jiancheng not hear Pei Ju's subconscious meaning? The answer is yes, he just thinks that the help of the clan gate lord is far greater than that of ordinary people, and when choosing, he can't help but choose a group that is more beneficial to him.
Li Jiancheng had a very strong popular base in Hedong, and he was also a political ally of the Shandong aristocracy. If you want to talk about advantages, Li Jiancheng is not a little stronger than Li Shimin, but Li Jiancheng obviously grabbed a good hand, and finally played that badly, Chen Ying also had an indescribable weirdness.
In this era, the clan gate valve is equivalent to the capital chaebol of later generations, of course, there is a fundamental difference between the two, the capital chaebol's demand for the market is endless, and the demand for land is also endless. The capital chaebol will not let go of any profitable investment opportunity, and the same is true for the clan gate valve, if there is no opportunity, they will try to create opportunities.
Li Jiancheng nodded and said meaningfully: "Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju." Bandit retribution, always think it is good......"
Hearing this, Chen Ying was even more sure of his previous guess. With the victory of the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Hedong, it is obvious that it will sit firmly in Guanzhong. However, in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan in Guanzhong, the land naturally rises, but this is the base camp of the Guanlong aristocratic group, and it is not easy for them to infiltrate into Guanzhong, even if they have the support of Li Yuan or Li Jiancheng.
The Guanlong nobles will definitely not be willing to accept their defeat, so they will resist to prevent the infiltration of the Shandong group, this time there is less snow in Guanzhong, and the drought in the coming year has already highlighted the signs, and the difference is only a matter of big or small. The Shandong aristocratic group is like a shark that smells blood, and it smells the wind.
The purpose of their impeachment of Chen Ying was to stop Chen Ying from repairing ditches and to expand the drought situation in Guanzhong next year. Take advantage of the drought and frantically swallow up land. At this time, Li Jiancheng wanted to sit on the wall and watch, which was actually a very stupid act.
Even if the Guanlong aristocratic group has collectively declined, it does not mean that they have no capital to confront the imperial court, now is not a stable period of great unification, Wang Shichong in the Central Plains, Dou Jiande in Hebei, Du Fuwei in Jianghuai, Lin Shihong in Yuzhang, Baling and Xiao Milling, and Shen Faxing in Biling.
If Li Yuan brazenly supports the infiltration of the Shandong aristocratic group into Guanzhong tomorrow at this time, this is to make it clear that the Shandong aristocracy is working against the Guanlong aristocratic group, these Guanlong nobles have no great ability, and the ability to disrupt the world is first-class. Some of the Guanlong aristocratic group are generals who are proficient in military affairs, and some are money and materials, and they can send a few outstanding sons at will, and they can immediately let Wang Shichong or Du Fuwei, or Fu Gongyou, or Xiao Mo have the capital to win the world. Launch a deadly assault on Li Tang.
These peasant uprising leaders of the Sui Dynasty, in fact, they didn't know anything, they didn't know how to govern the country, they didn't know how to run the country, and they didn't know how to march and fight.
If Li Jiancheng allowed this matter to go at this time, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong would immediately gain the support of a large number of hermits or celebrities, and they would also advocate Wang Shichong's benevolence, Dou Jiande's benevolence and righteousness, and the destiny of Allah.
At that time, I am afraid that the unification of the world by the Tang Dynasty will add too many variables, don't think that this is alarmist, but it is precisely the truth.
The essence of politics is the exchange of interests, Li Yuan was originally the spokesperson of the interests launched by the Shandong aristocratic group, if Li Yuan could not meet their interest needs, they would definitely abandon Li Yuan and support Wang Shichong or Dou Jiande instead. Chen Ying said with a smile: "Rome was not built in a day, if you want to occupy a seat in Guanzhong, you also need to do it step by step, or you need to lay it out step by step." โ
Speaking of this, Chen Ying sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, our Datang is rising, tell them that don't focus on a corner of Guanzhong, the eastern capital of Luoyang, there is still a lot to do, no matter who occupies Luoyang, you can make a bigger voice in the court of Datang and occupy a more advantageous position!" โ
Li Jiancheng's dilemma was that he could not directly refuse the interests of the Shandong aristocracy, but supporting them would attract stronger opposition from the Guanlong aristocracy.
As long as the capital is moved to Luoyang, then all problems will be solved, but now that Luoyang is in the hands of Wang Shichong, Chen Ying asked Li Jiancheng to give the Shandong nobles a plausible and ambiguous promise, in exchange for their business infiltration center, through the most difficult period of Chang'an, which is equivalent to giving them a choice, let them choose freely.
When Li Jiancheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then his eyes dimmed again: "But Luoyang, it's not so easy to preempt, not to mention that Wang Shichong's strength is not weak, now Tang and Zheng and Xia are standing side by side in the north, although Tang is strong, but he can't join forces with Zheng Xia alone."
Chen Ying nodded, although now in this time and space, Dou Jiande proposed the strategy of joining the Tang Dynasty to attack Zheng, but in history, it was obviously Dou Jiande who helped Wang Shichong and joined Zheng to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Ying couldn't guess at this time whether Dou Jiande was uniting with Wang Shichong or Li Tang, or whether Liantang was just a smokescreen with the purpose of paralyzing Li Tang.
Chen Ying said with a smile: "There are not many things in the world that can be done easily, the greater the benefits involved, the more difficult it is to do, to do it, at least there is hope for success, if you don't do it, you won't get anything in the end!" โ
Li Jiancheng lowered his head and thought deeply.
Chen Ying suddenly said: "Your Highness, Weichen wants to transfer the left guard to come over to repair the ditch!" โ
"Poof......" When Li Jiancheng heard this, he almost choked on his own saliva, and he said a little inexplicably: "Transfer them over?" Serving as a servant? Coolie? โ
Chen Ying nodded and said: "The minister does not dare to think that he is proficient in military training, at least he has a little experience in military training, if His Royal Highness transfers the left guard rate of the East Palace to Wei Chen, the minister can guarantee that within three months, the left guard rate will be reborn and become an elite division with one block of ten." โ
Chen Ying's words, Li Jiancheng did not doubt it at all, of course, this is Chen Ying's humble statement, Chen Ying's training is fast, fierce and good, this is a well-known thing, and now Chen Ying may really come up with any good ideas.
In fact, it is true, Chen Ying in the Shuozhou Army, Dingyuan Army and Lingwu Army, there are not many Modao Army seedlings, but the left guard rate is different, the soldiers here, all of them are Guanzhong Han, most of them are strong men who are more than eight feet tall, if they are allowed to be on the ditch, by carrying the soil, not only sharpen their physical fitness, but also use this method to find out a group of elite soldiers who can endure hardships, have good endurance, and have high physical fitness. With such an army trained to advance and retreat consistently, Chen Ying could really make the Modao Army appear in the battle sequence of the Tang Dynasty in advance.
Even if he has an elite Modao army, Li Jiancheng's fate in Xuanwumen may be rewritten.
Even if he can't rewrite history in the end, Chen Ying wants to keep Li Jiancheng a little bit of blood and blood, so that Li Tang's habit of infighting will fundamentally change.
Li Jiancheng barely thought about it, and then said: "The left and right guard rates are handed over to you, a total of 12,000 people from nine prefectures, all of them are given to you." โ
