Chapter 40
As an ideal monarch, Liu Zhang has been thinking deeply about something recently.

That was the rift between his Dongzhou soldiers and Shu soldiers, and the same rift between Dongzhou scholars and Shu soldiers was also within his scope of consideration.

The priority of this matter in his mind was far higher than that of the coming Badi rebellion.

His father Liu Yan was happy to see the conflict between Dongzhou people and Shu people on this matter, and vigorously protected the very small number of Dongzhou people.

With the idea of ​​​​using the weak to bully the strong and the small to force the big, on the one hand, as long as the whole of Shu does not launch a rebellion, the Qingqiang soldiers recruited by [-] Dongzhou people and Liu Yan can naturally suppress it. The Shu people were arrogant and arrogant, and at the same time they were afraid of the Shu people's revenge, so they could only hug Liu Yan tightly.

This approach allowed Liu Yan to secure his position as Yizhou pastoralist, but it also alienated him from the Yizhou scholars. Bajun gathered a crowd to rebel at the slightest instigation from Jingzhou bieji Liu He.

Liu Yan never held back when it came to cheating his son.

In this situation, Liu Zhang's operation on the scholars was to accept Shu scholars. For example, he placed Wang Shang in a high position as a governor, and recruited Shu scholars such as Huang Quan and Zhang Su into his shogunate. Let his talents be used to do things for him to show the Shu people that he has no prejudice against the Shu people.

Furthermore, there is the gap between the Dongzhou soldiers and Shu soldiers. Although the Dongzhou soldiers and Shu soldiers under his command are stationed together, they are also in the garrison camp outside Chengdu.

But in the same battalion, the Dongzhou soldiers and the Shu soldiers can be said to be as distinct as white and black. You are you and I am me. They are not like soldiers under the same monarch at all.

According to this situation, if Liu Zhang wanted to wait until he got to the battlefield, he would be afraid that his friendly troops would be in trouble and he would not save them. The friendly troops would be surrounded and unable to move like a mountain.

This situation is not uncommon in history, just like the men of Gao Huan, Emperor Shenwu of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Gao Huan's general Gao Aocao was defeated by Yuwentai and fled to Heyang City. Heyang Governor Gao Yongle had an old grudge with Gao Aocao and closed the city gates to prevent him from entering the city.

Gao Aocao asked for a rope to be put down from the city, but was ignored, so he drew his sword and chopped down the city gate.Before the city gate was opened, the pursuers had already arrived. Gao Aocao had to hide under the city protection bridge, and was eventually discovered and killed by Yu Wentai's soldiers.

Gao Aocao, the number one general of the Han nationality under Gao Huan, died in the hands of a pawn, and Gao Huan's treatment of Gao Yongle was just to use two hundred military staffs.

In fact, the cause of Gao Aocao's death can be seen through Gao Huan's handling of the conflict between his Xianbei soldiers and the Han people.

Faced with the contradiction between Xianbei and the Han people, Gao Huan had both sides.

He told the Xianbei people: "The Han people are your slaves. The men farm for you, and the women weave clothes for you. They pay taxes on millet and silk to keep you fed and clothed. Why do you still bully them?"

He told the Han people under his rule: "The Xianbei people are your hired soldiers. They get some of your clothes and food, and they protect you from thieves and thieves. They can ensure that you live in peace. Why do you hate them so much?"

Hiding both sides and deceiving both sides seems very clever, but what is the use of this little cleverness? It has not fundamentally solved the integration problem of Xianbei and Han people.

Gao Huan, who obviously started with two kings and four twos, was still unable to win over Yuwentai in Guanzhong. Instead, he was defeated by Yuwentai repeatedly. The final outcome of Northern Qi was to be destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang recalled the political ecology and military construction of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This was his greatest wealth as a time traveler. The historical lessons and experiences of the past 5000 years were all in his mind.

Unlike Gao Huan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Huan obtained Guandong through machinations. His team was cobbled together and deceived from the Erzhu family. He did not twist his men into a rope through tough battles. His Xianbei and Han people were fighting against each other. tit for tat between them.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, when Yuwentai faced the powerful and dominant Northern Qi, considering his own weakness, he had to put aside his stature and win over Guanzhong heroes and Confucian scholars into his shogunate, truly integrating Xianbei and Han people and breaking the boundaries of ethnic groups. , carry out mixed reorganization, regardless of Hu and Han, as long as they have talent, they can get ahead.Yuwentai carried out targeted military training, innovated military systems and weapons, and established a military system, which laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the Sui and Tang empires.

Therefore, Liu Zhang should not be Gao Huan, but should follow Yu Wentai's approach.

He would not be like Gao Huan, who would accommodate and please both sides between the Dongzhou people and the Shu people. This would have no future. Although he could dominate for a while by using power and tactics, it would not be able to truly create a new era.

Of course, Liu Zhang did not want to implement the Fubing system. The situation and system construction in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties were hundreds of years apart. It would be inappropriate to apply them mechanically. What he wanted to learn was the essence of the Fubing system.

The essence of the Fubing system is to collide the two ethnic groups of Hu and Han under Yu Wentai, and sew or even splice them together to the extent that you have me and I have you. Such a group has high internal cohesion and stronger organization. .

So he transferred Dongzhou soldiers under Gan Ning's command, and Shu soldiers under Xu Meng and Xi Su's command. His intention was to let the Dongzhou and Shu people blend together and get rid of the black and white distinction that his father Liu Yan had when he was alive. , hostile to each other.

Merely adding water to their respective parts is far from the effect Liu Zhang wanted. If you want Dongzhou and Shu people to be closely integrated, you still need to go to the battlefield, fight together, and give your back to Only the other party can do it.

Bajun's rebellion was a good opportunity for Liu Zhang to unite the Dongzhou and Shu people.
-
"Erlang, I have been ordered to come and receive three hundred pieces of mysterious armor." Li Mou handed over the order and said to Erlang of the Zhang family who was sorting out the documents.

Zhang Erlang was a little surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "Mysterious armor? Three hundred? Uncle Li, whose camp are they sent to? Why do you need so many mysterious armors at once?"

Li Mou nodded, confirmed the authenticity of the three hundred sets of mysterious armor, and explained their whereabouts: "Sent to Captain Gan's camp. Liu Shijun has just sent a thousand Dongzhou soldiers to him. He needs weapons and equipment."

After explaining Xuan Kai's departure, Li Mou did not stop talking, but said with some envy: "Captain Gan is really lucky. Just because he stopped Captain Xu from bullying the people in the market, he was promoted from a county magistrate. For the sake of the captain, a thousand Dongzhou soldiers had to be sent to his account."

"In the past, when Liu Yizhou was here, there was a Shu man who was treated like this."

Zhang Erlang took the order and responded with a smile: "The envoy thinks highly of Captain Gan, and Wang Zhizhong has also been given the position of a special commander. It is a good thing to have such an envoy who is close and trustworthy to me and other Shu people. "

"Yes, yes, it's a great thing." Li Mou nodded repeatedly, and then said with a regretful tone: "Erlang, with your ability, I can't see you being inferior to Captain Gan, but you can only do it here." Shu Zuo, it’s such a pity.”

"Uncle Li, do whatever you want. There are times in your life that you must have, and there are times in your life. Don't force it. Whether it's a secretary or a lieutenant, they all serve Liu Shijun." Hearing Li Mou's regretful words Zhang Erlang's eyes were downcast for a moment, then he raised his radiance and spoke something, as if he was dealing with Li Mou, but also as if he was speaking to himself.

Li Mou also caught a glimpse of Zhang Erlang's expression and knew that he shouldn't say those regretful words. He opened his mouth to make up for it: "Erlang, you are just unlucky at the moment. In my opinion, sooner or later you will become a captain, and the generals will look up to you." between."

After saying that, he handed over his hands and said goodbye: "I'm leaving first. This matter is urgent, and these mysterious armors must be sent to Gan Xiaowei's camp early."

Zhang Erlang smiled and watched Li Mou leave. Then he sat down and continued to sort out the documents. From the recent entry and exit of documents, he smelled a tense breath, which was the throbbing before the war.

'Maybe this is an opportunity for him. '
