Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 760
"Whether we talk about rebellion, uprising, expelling the Tartars, or restoring China, it is essentially a redistribution of social resources. As long as the resources can meet the needs of the people on a macro level and let the people live a better life, it will not It doesn't matter if you fight against the Qing Dynasty or not, it doesn't matter whether you kill the Tartars or not."

Jia Liu is an atheist, so he doesn't believe in evil, that is, he firmly doesn't believe that the Xinghan Army, which only took less than two years to snowball, will be a new revolutionary team in which civilian officials don't love money and military officers don't fear death.

If that's the case, Jia Liu would just go back to Beijing and set up a merit forest to represent Aixinjueluo to accept the transformation.

If the talks are good, maybe there will be a strong claim to be the Lord of the Forbidden City.

It's not a good deal, at worst, go back to Hetuala's hometown to farm with his wife and children.

At the very least, the Three Tombs outside the pass must have belonged to Jia Liuzu.

When they ran out of money, they went in to get some. Taizu Taizong dared to say no, so he raised them on the spot.

Of course, Jia Liu also believes that there is a religious group within the Xinghan Army, but this group is actually a minority compared to the Xinghan Army as a whole.

The reason why this group exists is just like its father-in-law Gu Shidao, it stems from the insistence on clothes.

A century-old feud originated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This persistence and hatred led this group of survivors of the Ming Dynasty to collude with the plateau people in Dajinchuan in order to deal with the common enemy. It is not even ruled out that they are also connected with the anti-Qing forces in Myanmar.

Such is the complexity of history.

There is no absolute good or bad, nor absolute black and white.

Put it on Jia Liu, is he good or bad for Qing Dynasty?

To say that he is a good person is definitely flattering him, and it goes against the objective facts.

Because the many disasters and disasters in the Qing Dynasty today are entirely caused by him!

If it weren't for his selfish interests to deprive the generals of the Qing Dynasty who were able to conquer and fight well, the Qing Dynasty would have calmed down the big and small Jinchuan long ago, and tomorrow would be better.

But to say that he is a bad person is certainly not true.

After all, he is now carrying the sky of the Qing Dynasty.

For the Qing Dynasty, he was so tired that he gained a lot of weight.

Then, in the actual struggle, Jia Liu must pay attention to distinguishing who is the enemy.

In other words, who is the real enemy.

Only by distinguishing the real enemy can we prescribe the right medicine and win the war at the least cost.

Obviously, Qiu Ba, an anti-Qing member of civil society who refused to cooperate, was an enemy, but not all of Qiu Ba's subordinates were enemies.

There will definitely be ones that can be won.

Jia Liu asked Ji Yun to use his brains to find out what the demands of those who participated in the Xinghan Army's resistance against the Qing Dynasty were through various means.

"I see nothing more than three kinds of people."

Jia Liu believes that the first type of people are those like his brother-in-law Gu Mingyuan and Qiu Ba who are dedicated to rebelling against the Qing Dynasty.

This kind of person, Jia Liu does not hesitate to praise heroes and righteous men, and admires this kind of person from the bottom of his heart.

Because such talents are the promoters and creators of Chinese history, as well as the guardians of the national spirit.

But for this kind of person, there is nothing to talk about, they can only fight.

The second type of people is anti-Qing in principle, but has an objective understanding of the situation. As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, it is not necessarily necessary to let the Tartars die.

The representative figure is Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Compared with King Xiao Ming's Dragon and Phoenix regime and Chen Youliang's Tianwan regime, the Ming regime was undoubtedly much more friendly towards the Mongolian Hulu.

For this kind of people, as long as they can restore their clothes and make the Han people equal to the bannermen, they don't necessarily have to recognize Emperor Zhu, nor do they have to fight the Qing army to lose both.

Within the Xinghan Army, there is a large base of such people, with a high probability of occupying more than half of the middle class.

The third type of people are people who follow the trend, they don’t know what their demands are at all, and they get what others say.

This kind of people is also the bottom class, some follow blindly, some opportunistically, and some just eat for the sake of making a living.

In fact, the third type of talent is the mainstream of the times, and it is also the "silent" majority of the Xinghan Army.

Jia Liu asked Ji Yun's united front to mainly target the second and third types of people, especially the second type of people, who should be bought and wooed at any cost, so as to fundamentally achieve the strategic purpose of disintegrating, weakening, dividing and rejuvenating the Han army.

"My lord, can this be done?"

Ji Yun expressed doubts about this, if money can be used to settle opponents, then what kind of wars have been fought for thousands of years.

"Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. You can use money to negotiate. It is best if the negotiation succeeds. If the negotiation fails, it will not be too late for us to fight again."

Jia Liu's vision must be farther than Ji Yun's, and he knows more. As far as he knows, there were people in history who relied on money to settle all competitors.

"Wu Mu said that civil servants don't love money, military officials don't fear death, and the world is peaceful. But he didn't say that military officials can't love money and be lustful. Sun Tzu's Art of War said that the first military attack is to plan, the second is to fight with each other, and only use force when there is no other way. Why not do it if you can achieve the effect of using force with only some money without harming a single soldier?"

Jia Liu believes that his decision is wise, because compared with the huge military expenditures caused by the war, the funds used to buy them are only a small amount.

For example, it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to put down the chaos in Huguang, but now he only needs to spend a few million taels to achieve the same effect, so why spend hundreds of millions?
Moral support from many, scant support.

War is not about making fewer enemies and making more friends.

What to do?

Money chant.

How many people in the world do not love money?
"Don't think that this approach is stupid. On the contrary, this approach is currently in the best interest of our military."

In order for Ji Yun to better implement his own policies and not have any worries, Jia Liu encouraged him for a while: "You are bold to contact and talk to those people. If you want money, give it money, if you want it, give it a house, if you want it, give it a house, and if you want it, give it land. If you want an official, you can talk to an official, and if you want a woman, as long as you don’t want my woman, you can talk about it.”

And set up the United Front Office of General Wang Xingyuan on the spot, with Ji Yun, the minister of the Ministry of War, serving as the director.

The first batch of funds of 30 taels was allocated on the spot, and the manpower needed for the office was allocated by Ji Yun from various units.

There is only one condition, that is, to be able to speak well, and to be able to bear what others cannot bear.

"The other thing is to be able to drink. When talking with others, you must be careful not to talk about it. It is best to talk at the wine table, so the chance of success is much higher."

Jia Liu speaks from experience, and it can be said that he is teaching Ji Dayan how to bribe people.

"It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. The reason is the same, and there must be a coward under a heavy reward! Zhong Xiang, as a pilot, must set the stage to win and prove to the world that this king is definitely not a person who is in vain!"

Agitated, Jia Liu pinched ten fingers and made a "thunderbolt" sound.

His two hands are very hard.

It is more than enough to deal with peasant uprising organizations like the Xinghan Army.
