Three Kingdoms

  『You don’t even want to call me father』, calling me dad is not a meme unique to later generations.

   It's like Lu Bu hardly called Fei Qian his lord before.

  The virtuous younger brother at the beginning, Ziyuan later, and then the official position, the distance between them seems to be drawn further along with the physical distance.

   Lu Bu lowered his head.

Maybe it was really persuaded by Fei Qian, maybe it was because they wanted to survive, or maybe it was some other reason, but now, with the change of Lu Bu's title, all the guards and soldiers who followed Lu Bu naturally gave up resistance , was gathered up. These soldiers themselves had no intention of rebelling. After being confiscated, they stayed in the rear camp obediently and served as labor labor for a period of time.

   Feiqian sometimes finds it a little funny.

  Lv Bu's character, he really won't bow his head until the end, until he hits the south wall, and his head is bleeding.

  This kind of stubbornness is inconceivable if it is placed on those literati in Shandong who mock martial arts every day.

  For some literati in Shandong, when the situation is not good, they immediately bow their heads and call Dad, which is almost a natural instinct.

  Fei Qian's attitude towards Lu Bu did not change because of Lu Bu bowing his head. He still called him Brother Fengxian and let him go to rest first. He didn't say that he would immediately pronounce a sentence on Lu Bu, and he would not continue to criticize or abuse him.

  Lv Bu has many problems, and the guilt is very heavy. These are undoubtedly, but the same, it does not mean that Lv Bu is guilty, so Lv Bu is useless and completely denies it.

As for Lu Bu's guards and soldiers directly under him, most of them did not have much direct responsibility for the matter in the Western Regions. I don't have too many thoughts. The so-called yellow robe addition is just a trick played by a few upper-level generals. In fact, there are very few incidents where the whole army participates.

   Fei Qian is very cautious about Lu Bu's handling.

   It's not because of Lu Bu's reputation, or because of the relationship between Lu Bu and Fei Qian, but because of Lu Bu's specific affairs. After all, Lu Bu now represents the highest position that some generals of the humble family can reach, and represents the top level of the world reached by an ordinary Han borderer with his personal strength.

Restricted by Lu Bu's own knowledge and culture, as well as the influence of the related three views, there were indeed problems in his words and deeds, which led to disasters in the Western Regions, corruption of officials, and suffering for the people. In the meantime, like Lu Bu, those prefects or governors who caused the turmoil in the frontier, how many people were really punished, and how many people turned major incidents into trivial ones?

   Is Lu Bu too special, or is it because those whose names have been withheld are not too special?

  Why didn’t those people get hanged and beaten like Lu Bu?

  In the extension, why did the subsequent feudal emperors become more and more afraid of warriors and tolerant of literati?

  Separation of civil and military families, is it an advantage or a disadvantage?

  These problems are what Fei Qian must think about and try to solve.

  So it should be more about things than people.

   Killing people is easy.

   Really thinking about it, but it's hard.

  Yumen closed, and Tai Shici accompanied Fei Qian to patrol the city.

  Tai Shici will set off tomorrow, and then rush to Xihai City. As a vanguard, he will first face the Western Regions Allied Forces.

  『The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Qin and Han Dynasties were at war, the emphasis was on martial arts. As Fei Qian walked slowly, he said to Tai Shici, "Whether soldiers are brave or not, the number of soldiers is the cornerstone of victory." 』

   Not only before the Qin and Han Dynasties, but even in the subsequent feudal dynasties, the bravery and number of soldiers were still an important factor in the victory of a war. Although it may not be absolute, it is at least the cornerstone of victory. Regarding this point, Tai Shici naturally had no objection, and nodded to the side.

Fei Qian walked forward, "The way to go out is to go to the six villages first, and then go out to Liusui; if you don't stop giving, you can recruit troops from the public city and the third class; if you don't stop giving, you can recruit troops from the princes... Ziyi Do you know why it is used? 』

  Tai Shici thought for a while, and said: "The people of Liuxiang, use it in the vicinity, and the people of Liusui, use it in the wild." 』

   Fei Qian nodded, "Why is that so?" 』

  『This…』 Tai Shici only knew this, but he really didn’t think so much before.

   What Feiqian said was the conscription system of the Zhou Dynasty. The so-called Liuxiang, also known as nationals, is generally regarded as an urban household registration, while the so-called Liusui refers to the countryside and suburbs, also known as savages. What Fei Qian said meant that in the Zhou Dynasty, if the country needed conscription, it would first select from the countrymen, and then select from the savages. Then it was not enough, so he recruited troops from the princes and others.

  During the Zhou Dynasty, it was obvious that the status of the Chinese was higher than that of the savages. That is to say, in the Zhou Dynasty, joining the army was a kind of honor. Soldiers in the army enjoyed a higher social status, which was the common perception of most people in the Zhou Dynasty. Whenever there is an opportunity to join the army, they will always actively participate and enter the army in order of status.

  Tai Shici thought for a long time, and then said: "Return to the Lord, or because of the loyalty of the people of the country?" 』

  『Hmm…』 Fei Qian nodded and said,『Of course. However, why is it that the people of the country are loyal and the savages are suspicious, and then the Zhou family is weak and the princes are prosperous? 』

   Tai Shici frowned, very distressed. He knew that today's conversation with Fei Qian was very important, and it might even decide many things in the future, but he still didn't expect that Fei Qian would ask these questions instead of asking him how to fight the Western Regions, how to suppress the rebellion, and **** the army How to fight in the wild.

Fei Qian glanced at Tai Shici, knowing that Tai Shici did not fully understand the root cause of the turmoil in the Western Regions, nor did he know what effect the Western Regions had on the political status of the entire Han Dynasty. , and it is unlikely to make any progress on the original basis.

   Or the kind of progress that Fei Qian wanted.

   Rebuking and cursing cannot solve the problem, it just suppresses the problem for a while, and the problem still exists, just like the problem of the Western Regions. Fei Qian believes that the Western Regions Allied Forces are not a problem, but after defeating the Western Regions Allied Forces?

  Can Tai Shici take on the important task of changing the Western Regions and the Protectorate?

  Compared with Lu Bu, Tai Shici may be inferior in force, but in terms of martial arts, he is much better than Lu Bu.

  The world is still very big, what China needs is all-round talents in civil and military affairs, not partial wealth in civil and military affairs, or deceiving talents.

  After the Han and Tang dynasties, "Shangwu" gradually became "Focus on Wen".

  『What the Western Regions are to China is what Zhou Zhu is to the countryside, and the feudal lords are to the Quartet. Fei Qian said slowly, "Zhou Yongguo people are brave, but non-rural people are brave enough to chase after them, because there are more fields than fields." Just like the chieftain of the Western Regions, if he knows that he is dead and has no family business, he will fight chaos. Without him, it is human nature. 』

  『The Spring and Autumn Period favored martial arts, especially during the Warring States Period. The Duke of Shang said, "The reason why the country prospers is because of the agricultural war." Fei Qian looked at Tai Shici, Tai Shici nodded to show that he knew this, and then smiled, "Then...why do you only hear about "scholars, farmers, businessmen" and Don't see its "war"? 』

"ah? This..." Tai Shici swallowed his saliva, unable to answer.

  During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, firstly, due to the general perception of people in the original society, and secondly, out of the need for hegemony, all the princes from all walks of life became rich and powerful. One of the reforms in the Qin Dynasty was the reform brought about by Shang Yang. He denied Qi's strategy, but put the military at the level of agriculture, which shows that Shang Yang attaches great importance to the military. Under his influence and encouragement, the Qin Dynasty, which originally advocated martial arts and bravery, became more valiant in martial arts, and worked hard to move towards the direction of "the whole country is responsible for the soldiers".

  Shang Yang said, "If you are not victorious, you will be king, and if you are not defeated, you will perish. This has never happened since ancient times and today. Those who are brave by the people will win; those who are not brave by the people will be defeated in battle." Those who can unite the people in battle, the people are brave; those who cannot unite the people in battle, the people are not brave, and the sage king sees that the king will lead to the soldiers, so the whole country is responsible for the soldiers. 』Looking at this passage, it is enough to prove the momentum of the old Qin. With such an aura and belief that the whole country is at war and all the people are soldiers, how could the Qin Dynasty not become the biggest winner?

   And now...

  A group of defeated Shandong bandits from back then howled "warrior will die" every day.

   Feiqian said slowly: "The so-called one rewarder, Lilu, officials and nobles come out of the army, and there is no difference." Therefore, the people of Qin are all brave enough to fight. 』

  Tai Shici nodded silently, thoughtful.

  In the state of Qin, a person of ordinary background can completely rely on his military merits to be appointed as a marquis and minister, and the size and quality of military merits directly determine the future political and economic interests and social status of a sergeant. Shang Yang respected the law and regarded military service as an obligation and responsibility that citizens must bear. But on this basis, he did not forget Xu Yizhongli. Anyway, you have to serve in the military, so why not take an active part in it, fight bravely, and change your origin.

  『The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and was also brave in military warfare. The military revolution was prosperous, and then there was a battle to expel the Xiongnu and chase Mobei to death. 』Fei Qian raised his head, looking at the vast Gobi Desert, as if he was looking at the figures of Wei Qing, Huo Qubing and other Habayashi guards amidst the flying yellow sand.

  After Han Liu Bang won the world, he also inherited most of Qin's systems. The military merit system was still a necessary way for many civilians to change their lives in the early Western Han Dynasty, and judging from the composition of the official class in the early Western Han Dynasty, most of the people who held high positions in the court were descendants of meritorious generals. When the Western Han Dynasty faced the enemy of the Huns, it meant that the war would not end, and it was necessary to rely on generals to fight the enemy to maintain domestic security and stability.

"Until Xiaowu, to depose a hundred schools of thought, and only respect Confucianism..." Fei Qian laughed, "You can know from Ziyi, that the hundreds of schools that Emperor Xiaowu deposed did not just dismiss the schools of Shen, Shang, Han, Su, and Zhang, but rather It is to depose the powerful landlord, the military meritorious service...』

  Tai Shici's eyes widened. What Fei Qian said was completely different from what Tai Shici had known before. Tai Shici could somewhat understand the suppression of powerful landlords. Is it on the military meritorious service?

  『It’s like the Western Regions,』 Fei Qian pointed to the west side, and sighed, 『It’s like Lu Fengxian...』

  Tai Shici was thoughtful.

  Because the great man passed through the rule of Wenjing at that time, he cultivated his life and nourished his life, and the first generation of military meritorious lords who worked hard had already gone to decay and decline. Their descendants can no longer provide safety and security for the people, nor can they become the barriers and pillars of the country, or even hinder the development of society, the stability of the country, and become a burden in the feudal dynasty, not only cannot effectively strengthen the control of the ruling class , and it is not conducive to the monarch to strengthen the centralization of power.

  So after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to power, he adopted a policy of suppression against these fallen meritorious generals. On the one hand, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty believed that "martial arts are important, and literature and virtue are praised", and began to promote some "literary scholars" to serve as officials to supplement administrative needs, thus changing the situation where heroes and generals were in power. On the other hand, Emperor Wu of the Han also Reuse commoner clothes and promote some Han nationality talents, such as Sang Hongyang, Sima Xiangru, Zhu Maichen, Wei Qing, etc., as important ministers to fight against the original nobles.

Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty had a deep understanding when he was fighting for the world. He knew that the places where the separatists ruled were all warlords, so Emperor Guangwu also emphasized on culture and restraint on military affairs, especially in the Kansai area. Since then, the generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty have Difficult to enter the core ruling circle.

At this point, the pattern of emphasizing martial arts and emphasizing literature gradually took shape, and the pattern of emphasizing military lords and nobles while emphasizing scriptural families lasted until the end of Tang Dynasty, and then amidst the chaos of killing, the huge aristocratic family weakened and fell down, more The emerging landlord class stood up again, and the cycle of land, the key means of production, lasted for thousands of years.

  The general trend of the world, the long-term unity must be divided, and the long-term division must be united.

  If this "big trend" is replaced by land ownership, it also makes sense.

  『Ziyi, what do you think of Lu Fengxian’s affairs in the Western Regions? ’ Fei Qian asked.

  Tai Shici was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at Fei Qian, "This is of course the master's decision." Lu Fengxian was guilty and should be punished. 』

   Fei Qian smiled slightly. What Tai Shici said is interesting. Tai Shici actually somewhat understood why some Fei Qian still kept Lv Bu's life, because Tai Shici himself was also a general.

   Feiqian looked into the distance, "Since this is the case, how should Ziyi determine Jing'an in the Western Regions and show off his might as a great man?" 』

   What Fei Qian asked seemed simple, but Tai Shici was sweating slightly.

   Tai Shici knew more than Lu Bu, so he more or less understood some of Fei Qian's meanings.

Lü Bu is like those honorable military generals in the early Han Dynasty, and then slowly corrupted and degenerated, hindering the development of the country, like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who did something like Dong Zhongshu to depose Confucianism, although it can also be removed, but The impact is not that killing one or two people is enough.

   What if Huo Qubing lived a few more years?

   It can't be said that the Nine Clans were slaughtered just like the Wei family!

  If there is no such thing as those gentry literati playing tricks...

   Fei Qian glanced at Tai Shici, but did not urge him.

  Because this problem itself is very big, it really needs to be thought about carefully.

   It is really not enough to hand over the governance of a region to warriors alone, but what if all the governance is handed over to literati?

   Just like the subsequent feudal dynasty, it emphasizes literature over military, is it okay?

   also does not work.

  Fei Qian knows that this has been proved by history. Certain literati in feudal dynasties were even more trashy and more harmful than stupid warriors.

  The Confucius family in the feudal dynasty and the family of Yan Shenggong are like the epitome of the entire Chinese literati.

   Fei Qian remembered some things about Yan Shenggong that he knew in later generations.

   It's very interesting that these guys who claim to be of noble blood are demanding and critical of the people inside China, but they are begging for mercy for the external enemies.

  During the Dajin period, Kong Duanyou, the Duke of Yansheng, went southward and became the Duke of Yansheng, the Southern Zong of the Confucius family. But Kong Duanyou's half-brother Kong Duancao voluntarily surrendered to the Jin army and became the beginning of the Northern School.

   Later Confucianism, the most authentic one was the Northern School, and this tradition was carried forward.

Whether it is Kong Kejian who is willing to bow down to the feet of the Yuan Dynasty and fulfill his duties, loyalty and filial piety, but puts on airs for Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation, or Kong Yinzhi, who said that shaving his head is cool and has many benefits when the big braid entered the Central Plains, Or Kong Lingyi who greeted the portraits of foreign emperors again and again, and Kong Decheng before the Japanese army invaded China, were very excited and poetic, saying that China and Japan "same language and same species", saying "Jiangchuan, Zhusi and Si origin flow together. , the situation is different from the same state.”

  Ha, this is Yan Shenggong.

  The literati of the feudal dynasty enshrined such Confucius descendants.

  The literati can surrender and rebel again and again, but they can put a crown of "keeping the seeds of reading" on their heads, and then turn around and criticize Lu Bu as a slave of the three surnames... er, a slave of the three surnames.

You must know that when the Jin, Yuan, and Song families coexisted, there were also three Kong Ziyan Shenggongs. Later, in order to compete for who was the real and false Monkey King, he even played a good game in front of the noble princes of the Yuan Dynasty. Face, those who pull clothes pull clothes, those who play with sticks play with sticks, Yuan Taizu laughed out loud.

This type of literati is tolerant of themselves and harsh to others. On the surface, they do not value the origin of others, but in fact, the scholar-official class formed by these literati refused to ask the emperor whether they were born in the feudal dynasties. concession.

However, there are exceptions, such as the braided dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats dare not fart, and even write books to praise, saying that Kowloon is fighting for the throne, and the elder brothers are so stylish. The real "Longsheng Jiu" son"! After all, he is a noble chief, a genuine nobleman of the upper three banners. Since the scholar-bureaucrats didn't mind that the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty were superior to the Han people, they naturally wouldn't mind the origin of the noble Manchu emperors. After all, they were considered half foreigners.

  In the Western Regions, there are also "foreigners".

  How to deal with all kinds of things, and how to form rules that can be referred to are the tasks of Tai Shici in the next stage.

   Not only defeating these Western Region coalition forces...

It is impossible for the Western Regions to allow noble families to serve as the guardians, because for the class group formed by these noble literati, they are more important to the interests of the family. As for the country...it doesn't matter who is the leader, as long as the salary is high. become.

  Therefore, only a general like Tai Shici who dares to fight and knows how to fight can be in command of the Western Regions.

  However, how to prevent generals from being corrupted in a stable period, how to build a sound power system, and how to prevent power struggles are naturally a core focus of the governance of the Western Regions.

  Tai Shici was thinking, silent, the more he thought about it, the more things there were, the more difficult it was to grasp the key points.

  He had some ideas at first, but now he feels that they are not applicable or not enough, and his forehead is sweating all of a sudden.

   Fei Qian stood facing the wind with his hands behind his back, watching the yellow sand rolling by on the Gobi.

  Under the sky, the Yumen Pass is towering.

  Above the closed door, there is only a long time...
