Chapter 677: Guangxi Qian Jian Incident (Medium)
"It's too much to deceive people, Liu Xing's thief is too deceitful, he actually dares to send his Tiance guard to snatch grandpa's Yuanfeng prison, grandpa will never stop this matter!"
There was silence for a moment, and after Jin Cong's words were finished, Zhong Xiang finally couldn't hold back and roared angrily.
After yelling, he immediately turned his head and shouted loudly to several generals around him: "Go, pass my order, and order the Hunan soldiers of the six towns of our army to immediately arrest all the people from the north in each town." Straight mother thief, Liu Xing's thief forced me to rebel, if I don't rebel, he is ashamed of the two million Xiaoxiang fathers and elders, and he is ashamed to be a Xiaoxiang man. ”
"Marshal, slow." Zhong Xiang's roar fell, and Liu Heng, the military advisor and the chief soldier of the first town, immediately stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "If the marshal really went to arrest those people who were in the north of Li Ai, did he ever think about the consequences?" ”
"Consequences, consequences? Grandpa, I was ridden by others around the neck to urinate, and told me about the consequences of bird balls! Shouting and scolding loudly, Zhong Xiang looked at Liu Heng and said: "Straight to the thief, only those who come from the north can be the lackeys of the thief Liu Xing, what if I catch and kill it?" Is it difficult, do you think I want to be self-reliant or not? ”
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Heng said: "Those people should be arrested, but marshal, you should know that not all those who return from the north to the south will definitely be willing to be driven by that Liu thief." At least my cousin Liu Shu and those who returned from the north and south under his command will not go to be lackeys for Liu Thief. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Xiang was stunned suddenly, and said secretly in his heart: Yes! Liu Heng's cousin had originally become a small landlord in Henan, but because of Liu Xing's implementation of the new law, he almost lost his life in Nanyang Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that he ran fast and his subordinates were newly guarded, I am afraid that he would have already become the ghost of the Nanyang patrol envoy under Liu Thief.
His family property was seized and he almost died. It is said that his original wife and a son and a daughter. After he escaped, he was captured by the Nanyang patrol envoy and beheaded.
Such a deep hatred. Can Liu Xu'an recognize a thief as his father? How many people in our army who returned from the north and from the south have the same deep hatred and hatred as that Liu Xu, and that Liu thief. If I blindly grasp everything, will I not cut off my follow-up support and seek trouble......
Thinking of this, Zhong Xiang's complexion softened a little. Looking at Liu Heng, he re-spoke: "Then with the intention of the military advisor, how can I prevent me from standing on my own feet in this box, and when Liu Thief got the news, he immediately transferred strong troops from Jinghu South Road to fight against me." At least I need three months. Within three months, we can't let the soldiers of the Liu thieves in Hunan know that I am self-reliant and will not attack me, so that our army can lay a good foundation in this land of Guangxi! ”
Hearing Zhong Xiang's words, Liu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, and then said: "Marshal, I thought that we could use the method of mutual protection and joint protection to identify which of the people who returned to the south of our army were Liu Thief's lackeys and which were good brothers who were really willing to advance and retreat with you. ”
"Are you saying that when I was asked to implement the Yuanyou Reform Law in the army, the kind of armor protection method promoted by the Jiangyou Wang Xiangguo?" Before Liu Heng's words fell, Zhong Xiang immediately asked suspiciously.
Quite at the beginning of Wang Anshi's reform, this armor protection law was an important legal change. It was the third year of Xining, and the then Sinong Temple formulated the "Qi County Baojia Regulations" and promulgated them.
Under the provisions of that regulation, rural households are treated regardless of whether they are the head of household or the customer. Every ten, later changed to five to form a guarantee. Five guarantees are one big guarantee, and ten major guarantees are one guarantee.
Whoever has more than two dings. One of them is Baoding. Gather Baoding during the slack time to conduct military training; Night patrols to maintain law and order.
The armor protection law can not only enable strong men in various localities to receive military training and use it in conjunction with the regular army, so as to save a large amount of military expenditure of the state, but also establish a strict public security network and organize the people in various localities according to the armor protection so as to stabilize the feudal order.
Wang Anshi's change back then actually had the same goal as Liu Xing's change now, that is, the goal of "enriching the country and strengthening the army". It's just that Wang Anshi's reform lasted only 15 years from the implementation of the new law to the abolition of the new law by the conservatives.
During the period of Wang Anshi's reforms, each new law basically achieved the desired effect, which restricted the activities of the powerful and powerful mergers and usurers, and reduced some privileges of middle and higher officials and the imperial family.
On the other hand, the upper landlords and lower households of the yeoman farmers in the countryside reduced some of the burden of forced labor and taxes, and the feudal state also strengthened its rule over the direct producers and thus increased fiscal revenues.
The new laws more or less violated the interests of middle and higher officials, the royal family, the powerful and usurers, and more importantly, the negative impact on the lives of the common people was eventually repealed.
In fact, in Liu Xing's new law, he also borrowed and adopted the same set of Wang Anshi Yuanyou's reform method in many places. It's just that Wang Anshi at the beginning was in peacetime and under an inherent system to change the law, and the result was a miserable defeat.
As for Liu Xing, he broke and then stood up. It is a change that can be described as a change in a short period of time that can be described as a collapse of etiquette and chaos in the world, and takes advantage of the vacuum of the regime to adopt new ideas and new legal basis to implement the reform.
Therefore, Liu Xing can kill the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the world and have nowhere to hide, so Liu Xing can make those princes and nobles who are now regathered in Bianjing City after Taizu and Taizong, and those princes and nobles do not dare to have half a point to destroy the mind of changing the law. This is Wang Anshi's lack of time can not be compared, and it is also the biggest reason for the prosperity of the Northern Dynasties today.
Of course, Zhong Xiang also knows these truths, so as soon as Liu Heng said that he wanted to jointly sign a guarantee and screen people who returned from the north to the south, he immediately thought of the new armor protection system in the new rural law that Liu Xing had created.
Liu Heng was originally a person who left his hometown at the same time as his cousin and went to the north. It's just that his cousin prefers to be reckless with the rivers and lakes and is very good at business. When he first arrived in the north, he defected to the Taiyuan guard to join the army.
When Liu Xing made a great effort in Taiyuan City that day and swept the Jin soldiers, he was actually among them. When Liu Xing led the crowd to break through and rush out of Taiyuan City, he was also among the two or three thousand soldiers.
It's just that his talent is limited, and whether he is so brave or not is difficult to get ahead at all. Not long after those people took root in Wutai City, he quietly bid farewell to the new official and received some money to return to his hometown in Hunan.
Because of these reasons, Liu Heng has always been extremely concerned about the new law of the Northern Dynasties. If you care a lot, you will naturally think about it very thoroughly.
Proficient in the new law, Liu Heng is naturally full of confidence in his heart.
After Zhong asked the contrary, he immediately nodded without hesitation: "If you want to compete with Liu Thief, you can only take the strategy of returning the other way to the other." Otherwise, even if the marshal is self-reliant, if more people are prevented from coming down from the north to the south to surrender, our army will not escape defeat sooner or later.
