Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 843 Compete with each other
Although Li Shimin was still unable to suppress the aristocratic family thoroughly due to age constraints, he also revised the family tree and put a few proud old aristocratic families at the back, putting his old Li family in the first place. .

Moreover, intermarriage within several major clans is also prohibited.

This move can be said to be drastic.

Over the years, several major families have been able to maintain that bloodline, and use the theory of bloodlines to break through the world, that is, relying on intermarriage.

The Xie family looked for the Wang family, and the Wang family looked for the Xi family, and they went round and round in this way, arranging and combining.

All in all, for aristocratic families, there is an exception for men's marriages. After all, in a patrilineal society, it doesn't matter even if a man marries someone whose family status is inferior to his own. Children are still counted according to their family status.

Of course, the marriage of powerful families is still the mainstream, and it is even more commendable for a woman from a wealthy family to marry into the family.

There are still exceptions.

For example, Xie Lingyun from the Southern Dynasty, who has countless fans in suave and suave style, his mother is not a young lady from a wealthy family, not even a young lady.

She's just an ordinary maid from the Xie family.

How is this possible?
You know, Xie Lingyun is the grandson of Xie An. Although it is a few generations apart, it is also a first-class wealthy family.

Moreover, in Xie Lingyun's time, the Xie family's power was still very strong and definitely not in decline.

And why did Xie Lingyun's father marry a maid?

All of this, of course, has a reason.

That is, Xie Lingyun's father turned out to be a mentally handicapped, really mentally handicapped, and it was clearly recorded in the history books, and he did not shy away from it.

Obviously, this is also because it is impossible to hide.

Because of this reason, the father of Xie Lingyun, who is clearly a descendant of a noble family and a dignified Xie family, could not even marry a decent woman. In the end, the Xie family still had a conscience, and did not harm other families. He promoted a maid who took care of Xie's father all the year round to be his concubine.

However, it should be noted that even if no woman from a good family is willing to marry Xie's father, Xie's father does not have a decent wife.

The woman who gave birth to him was still recorded as a concubine in the history books.

However, Xie Lingyun is a man after all, moreover, he did not inherit his father's unmentionable disease, he is intelligent and suave.

At that time, no one in the circle of aristocratic children ridiculed Xie Lingyun because his mother had a bad background and Xie Lingyun's father was a fool.

However, if the same thing happened to a woman, the ending would probably not be so perfect.

High-ranking families absolutely resist low-marriage by women. After a woman marries, her offspring will be counted as the husband.

A well-endowed high-class woman married into a merchant family, a martial arts general, this is tantamount to useless.

The family status of this branch can be regarded as completely falling into the low-end, and, for the high-end families, the boys and girls of the younger generation are actually a kind of resource.

If you let go out and marry an aristocratic family, you can achieve the goal of a strong alliance, but if you marry the bottom door, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?
Li Shimin can reject the family to a certain extent because he is in charge of a huge empire.

This huge empire is not only rich in products, but also has a large population, and there are a lot of talents in it.

If you want to employ people, there are many connections. Datang can completely not rely on the aristocratic clan to select talents.

So, in the generation of Erfeng's sons, they can gradually abolish the family's first-class system, hold imperial examinations, and select talents.

Since the imperial examination, the aristocratic family's method is completely unworkable.

Lost rooted soil.

These are the disadvantages of the aristocratic family, but when it comes to the aristocratic family, of course there are advantages.

So far, the biggest advantage is that for Wang Mi personally, what is there to be afraid of due to his excellent background and his military achievements?

This is basically the existence of double overlapping buffs!
As long as the power becomes [-]%, it is unstoppable!

Therefore, Wang Mi, who is now rushing to the forefront, seems to be loyal to the Great Jin, but in fact, he is rushing forward for himself.

It's for their own turf!

The identity of the aristocratic family allows him to occupy an advantageous position in the Great Jin Dynasty Hall. Fundamentally speaking, he is very confident in the face of the court officials.

In addition, there is a huge shield like Xie An in front of him.

So far, even if he has really gone too far and has too much military power, it will not arouse too much suspicion from others.

So what about doubt?
Isn't there Xie An?
Even if there is disobedience, it is Xie An, and Wang Mi cannot be found. Now all civil and military officials in the court know that Wang Mi is Xie An's proud grandson-in-law.

He obeyed him in everything, as long as Xie An was around, he would be free to boldly expand the territory.

This matter must be fast!
be quick!

By the time the court reacted, the Jin army had captured most of the northern towns, and even if they tried to stop Wang Mi, they had no ability.

Fortunately, Wang Mi now has another big advantage, which is good interpersonal relationship.

This was absolutely unimaginable among the children of the previous aristocratic families, and it was even more impossible to do it.

The Jingzhou soldier who has always been at odds with the court has nothing to do with Wang Mi, not to mention her personal relationship with Jingzhou Lord General Huan Chong, which is beyond the past.

The Jingzhou soldiers cooperated again, and the fighting power of the Beifu soldiers reached the strongest in history. At such a good time, if they still can't make progress, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
Ok!

If it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk.

"General Fu, what's the matter, have you thought it through?"

Wang Mi knew very well that at this time, Fu Zuan really wanted to kick the ball to his side and let Wang Mi make the move first.

But he refused to give him this chance.

Taking advantage of Fu Zuan's hesitation before he could speak, Wang Mi hurriedly took the lead. This time, General Fu was dumbfounded.

"I?"

"General Wang was joking. I have nothing else to think about. I'm just a defeated general. I can only obey General Wang's orders."

Hehe, it sounds nice, don't you just want to throw the problem to him?
Wang Mi didn't intend to let Fu Zuan go, he just said: "General Fu, you are a general of Diqin, and of course we should refer to your opinion on how to deal with the soldiers under his command."

"My Jin army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. I will not kill rashly. Now I am giving you a chance to tell you what is in your heart. I don't think you should still be arguing with me at this time."

"You have to know that generally speaking, the army on the winning side doesn't have such a good temper."

Wang Mi's face suddenly became ugly, and his tone of voice became much more serious, which made Fu Zuan, who was trying to get away with it, suddenly trembled.

No way!
This kid, is he going to change his mind?
He was apprehensive, but there was nothing he could do.

So what if you change your mind?
Are you surrendering because you still have the ability to win this battle, or simply because you don't want to fight?

It's not because he can't win that he thinks to go downhill quickly when he is still decent and has a little strength.

"Since General Wang said so, then I will not be polite."

Fu Zuan pondered for a moment, made a good show, and finally came up with a few ideas. The reason why he said it was an idea was because his brain was in chaos at this moment, and he was not awake at all.

You want him to put forward more constructive opinions, but he can't come up with them.

So, he simply said: "Not to mention anything else, we must save the lives of our Di Qin soldiers who surrendered. They cannot be slaughtered or punished."

Needless to say, the massacre, the punishment is of course one-size-fits-all. In this era, it is very common for soldiers who surrendered, especially the large numbers, to be collectively slaughtered across the board.

Men don't want to be cut across the board, so in order to effectively prevent such a fate, Fu Zuan put forward this requirement as the most important one, and put it at the forefront.

This is nothing to say, even if Fu Zuan is stupid, he still knows to keep his own lifeline.

Wang Mi nodded: "I've said this before, I have no objection, and I will definitely save their lives."

"As for the punishment, as far as I know, this kind of thing has never happened in the army since Jin Nandu. Our army has no such tradition."

"General Fu, you can rest assured."

The most important point is confirmed, and Fu Zuan has let go of a big heart. Next, he will talk about himself.

"Then, General Wang, what do you plan to do with this old man?"

"I won't force you to be a high-ranking official, but can you allow me to stay in Yecheng?"

Wang Mi's eyes lit up, and he finally entered the state.

sure!
Fu Zuan's proposal finally got to the point.

As I have said before, in the separatist era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty, there were many ministers and generals who wandered among the divided small courts.

It's like executives working part-time today. The company can change at will, but as long as they can keep their positions.

Today, Fu Zuan is concerned about the personnel arrangements after the surrender.

According to the current practice, his proposal is not wrong. He is the Diqin clan. Originally, Yecheng was in the hands of Fu Pi, but now it is replaced by Fu Zuan. They are all a family. up.

He also understands the customs of the north, and he can be regarded as a capable general, and there are tens of thousands of Qin soldiers in the city, and these people were originally commanded by Fu Zuan.

Under such a background, it is more common practice to hand over Yecheng to Fu Zuan.

In this way, it can be regarded as submission and attachment, rather than pure surrender.

At that time, both the north and the south had weak control over the cities that were far away from them, and they were beyond their reach.

As long as someone from the opposing court came to surrender, he agreed with the situation and still handed over these cities to the original generals to govern.

This is also impossible.

Fu Zuan was full of confidence. Yecheng was too far away from Jingkou and Jiankang. The Great Jin Dynasty was absolutely incapable of effectively governing Yecheng.

At that time, he Fu Zuan would not be happy to be his local emperor in Yecheng in another way.

That kind of feeling is much better than being a follower by Fu Pi's side a few days ago.

If Fu Pi knew, now that Fu Zhuan has become the biggest winner in Yecheng, and he still intends to continue to live a happy life, he wonders if he will be so angry that he will stay where he is.

"General Fu, I understand what you mean, but this time, I don't support you doing this."

"But I will report your opinion to the imperial court. This is a big matter, and the final decision must be made by the imperial court."

Hehe, if you can agree, you can decide for yourself, if you don't want to agree, just shirk it to the court. They are really scheming to be promoted!

Fu Zuan scolded Huan in his heart, but he was still pretending to be stupid: "Why is this?"

"Don't tell me, General Wang, you still don't believe in the sincerity of this old man?"

When it comes to sincerity, Fu Zuan's sincerity is indeed quite sufficient.

The weapons were also put down, and the soldiers all withdrew from Yecheng and handed them over to the Jin army. Such a performance was quite sincere.

Fu Zuan put this point out and took Wang Mi into the army.

Wang Mi wasn't angry at all. The so-called negotiation is like this. When someone else makes a move, you undo it. Next, you make another move and see how the other party solves it.

It is such a process.

He smiled slightly: "General Fu misunderstood, I was just talking about my thoughts, you also know, our two armies have been at odds for a day or two, although we can reconcile now, but we must tell the truth."

"To be honest, I really can't trust General Fu completely now. This doesn't mean that I don't believe in General Fu's determination to surrender."

"I have seen your determination and understand it in my heart. However, we are talking about the future, and I will not hide it from you. Our Jin army is still very weak in the north. This time we were able to take down Yecheng because of Di Qin and The Murong Department has always had conflicts. Our army really wanted to come to rescue the siege at the beginning. You know, it was General Fu Pi who invited us to come to help. We came to the foot of Yecheng, and General Fu Pi agreed. But it didn’t work out. Think about it, it turned out like this in the end.”

"It is precisely because everything happened quite suddenly, so we also respect Di Qin's choice. If you are willing to surrender, we naturally welcome with both hands. For Yecheng, General Fu Zuan is naturally more familiar than us, but , With all due respect, if I remember correctly, General Fu wasn't stationed in Ye City not long ago, right?"

Huh?
Why did he suddenly bring this up?

Wang Mi spoke out in anger, twisted and turned, went round and round, and actually involved Fu Zhuan. Although it was only for a short period of time, he successfully concealed Wang Mi's real motive.

You see, Fu Zuan didn't understand.

It is not good?

So, Wang Mi continued proudly, "Is it because what I said is not clear enough?"

"Actually, General Fu, I mean that the Jin army is not familiar with Yecheng. In fact, you are too, General Fu. I remember that the guard of Yecheng is actually General Fu Pi who died in battle. He stayed in Yecheng. It’s been a while, so I should be more familiar with the situation in the city.”

"But General Fu Zuan, if I remember correctly, you used to guard Jinyang town, you are here, it is difficult to convince the public, maybe it will be counterproductive."

"It caused dissatisfaction among the Di Qin soldiers in the city."

Fu Zuan finally understood this time, and his face darkened immediately, hehe, how dare this guy laugh at him!

Doesn't this mean that he is not qualified to guard Yecheng?
Fortunately, his intelligence work is quite good, he even knows such inside information, and he also knows that Fu Zuan came from the north of Jinyang City.

Wang Mi's casual attitude made Fu Zuan even more angry, his teeth itching, and his seven orifices were smoking.
