532. The general strategy of military and political affairs
"Oh, I must do my best to persuade the Sun family to surrender, and say that Lu Bu is good!"
When Yi heard that Zhu Wei asked him to serve as this messenger task, he hurriedly got up, saluted Zhu Wei, and promised in his mouth.
Zhu Wei then also got up and saluted solemnly to Yi Yuan, "So please sir, as for the specific conditions, we can discuss it in detail, and we will let Mr. go, so that the Sun family can feel at ease and Lu Bu will be tempted!" ”
"Whoa!"
Yi returned the salute again, and then sat down again at Zhu Wei's signal.
So after setting such a big tone, Zhu Wei discussed some specific conditions with a few people, anyway, he gave the authority of the Iraqi envoys Sun and Lu Bu, and set a minimum condition on Zhu Wei's side.
Of course, in the course of these discussions, Zhu Wei roughly set the strategy for the next period of rest and recuperation, and also set the tone for Zhu Wei's future military and political center to be located in Xiangyang.
Although it seems that the Jiangdong side is closer to the Central Plains at the moment, as long as you cross the Yangtze River, you can get involved in the Central Plains.
In terms of location, Xiangyang is closer to the old capital Luoyang, which is the heart of the world, and it is also close to Xudu, where today's son is located, so Zhu Wei is located in Xiangyang City, which is more convenient for Zhu Wei's future development.
In fact, in this era, Jiangdong still belongs to the barbarian land that deviates from the Central Plains in terms of concept, and it also has a psychological disadvantage in attracting talents from all over the world.
And Nanyang County, which is close to the Longxing land of Emperor Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty, has indeed become a place of emerging learning not inferior to Yingchuan under the previous governance of Liu Biao, which can attract talents from all over the world to study in Xiangyang, so that Zhu Wei can select a large number of talents from them.
In addition, as far as the movement of troops is concerned, troops from Jiangdong often need to cross the Yangtze River with the help of river boats, and in any case, this way of crossing the Yangtze River is both dangerous and time-consuming.
From Jingzhou, you can go directly to the Central Plains such as Yingchuan and Runan in Yuzhou through Wancheng in Nanyang County, which is also more convenient in military operations.
At the same time, there is another important factor, that is, the issue of the allocation of troops.
Generally speaking, where Zhu Wei's military and political center is, then the main force of Zhu Wei's army will inevitably be gathered somewhere, and relatively speaking, the troop allocation in other places will be much weaker, so as to reduce the overall pressure on raising troops, and can also avoid local generals from supporting their own troops.
In this way, the land of Jiangdong is protected by the Yangtze River, and even if the number of troops stationed in the future is reduced, the safety of Jiangdong can be ensured, and Xiangyang is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, placing Zhu Wei's military and political focus on Xiangyang is also an important arrangement for Zhu Wei's future military distribution.
Of course, Xiangyang is also close to Yizhou, Hanzhong, Guanzhong and the Central Plains, just like the so-called Son of Heaven guarding the country, Zhu Wei concentrated his forces on the Xiangyang side, which is not only convenient for Zhu Wei to guard against threats from all over at any time, but also convenient for Zhu Wei to send troops everywhere at any time, so that the enemy can not figure out Zhu Wei's next attack target.
If Zhu Wei was like the original Eastern Wu and constructed a new capital near Moling City in the northwest of Danyang City, then the main direction of attack in the future could only be Jiangbei.
In this way, Zhu Wei gathered his troops near Jianye City, which would only make Yuan Shu in Huainan feel threatened, and Zhu Wei wanted to attack other places, and it was easy for people to discover Zhu Wei's intentions once the troops were mobilized.
In fact, there is another key reason that Xiangyang City has been built by Liu Biao, showing a large-scale city foundation, and there is also the inner city palace built by Liu Biao.
And if Zhu Wei sets up a military and political center in Jiangdong, he is afraid that everything will have to be rebuilt in the new city, which will naturally consume a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, which is really a waste.
Therefore, considering many factors, Zhu Wei's military and political center is located in Xiangyang, which is more in line with Zhu Wei's actual interests today.
After agreeing on all this, Zhu Wei basically set various military and political strategies for the near future, so as the discussion was discussed, everyone dispersed.
And the next day, Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion was ordered to transfer to Dantu County, and under the escort of Cai Mao's Breaking Wave Battalion Naval Army, it quickly crossed the Yangtze River and entered the territory of Guangling County.
Although Xu Shu has not been able to go to the Divine Arrow Battalion for the time being, this time Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion mainly plays a deterrent role, so it may not really need to be war, so Xu Shu's temporary absence is not a big problem.
At the same time, Sun Shangxiang and Yi also came to Guangling County with them, and after Tai Shici's Divine Arrow Battalion landed and camped in Jiangbei, they went to the direction of Guangling County, which is currently controlled by the Sun family, and prepared to conduct final negotiations with the Sun family.
And Zhu Wei continued to stay in Danyang City to settle Jiangdong, but speaking of which, the follow-up matters on Jiangdong's side seemed to be much simpler than Jingzhou.
As mentioned earlier, although there are also many scholars and Haoqiang families entrenched in Jiangdong, in fact, the power of the scholars in Jiangdong cannot be compared with the influence of the Cai, Kuai, Pang and Huang clans in Jingzhou.
Although there are also four surnames of Wu in later generations, the four surnames of Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang seem to have great influence in Jiangdong.
But in fact, after the Sun family occupied Jiangdong, the talents in these four surname families became the pillars of the early development of the Sun family's Dongwu, so that these four surname families could rely on the Sun family's Dongwu and gradually develop.
In today's period, these four clans actually don't have that much influence, not to mention that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have swept through Danyang and Wujun, where the power of the Jiangdong Shi clan is the most entrenched, so it can be regarded as laying a good foundation for Zhu Wei to recast in Jiangdong.
So now Zhu Wei hardly has to worry about the interference of the local scholar forces in Jiangdong on his government affairs in Jiangdong, so he also implemented the governance model of Yuzhang in Danyang and Wujun.
According to this development model, at least in the next ten years, there will still be no new clan forces, of course, even if there are new clan forces at that time, they will no longer be able to affect local government affairs.
Zhu Wei is also preparing to appropriately join the official recruitment system of the imperial examination system on the basis of the original Eastern Han Dynasty recommendation system.
In this way, coupled with the government-run colleges and other means promoted by Zhu Wei in the local area, it will naturally allow more poor families and ordinary people to have the opportunity to embark on official careers in the future, so that the original scholar family's recommendation and control of officials can be gradually suppressed.
Historically, the official school system and the imperial examination system were the best weapons against the power of the scholars.
The official school system can break the monopoly of scholars on knowledge, so that a large number of poor families and common people have the opportunity to study and study, while the imperial examination system can allow a large number of poor families and common people to also have the opportunity to become officials.
In this way, the influence of the Shi clan in the officialdom can be gradually weakened, and their political power will be weakened, and the Shi clan will gradually be unable to confront the central dynasty politically......
