Wu Hui and Zhang Dingyang are in Youzhou, northeast. Ma Fushao is in Liangzhou, northwest.
The territory of the Great Xia Dynasty was similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty on earth. There are thirteen continents in total. In the north are Liangzhou in the northwest, Bingzhou in the middle, and Youzhou in the northeast. Below the continent are counties, and below the counties are counties.
Compared with the bitter cold in Wu Hui's county, even aristocratic families are not willing to stay there for a long time. The situation in Liangzhou is not much better.
But after all, Xiliang is connected to the Silk Road and can give the emperor and dignitaries something new to do. Therefore, there are still several aristocratic families in Liangzhou, and these aristocratic families, unlike the central ones, are generals of the times. Relying on the wealth of the Silk Road to raise troops is a bit like separatist warlords.
In addition, there is actually an aristocratic family in Youzhou, but the one from the county where Wu Hui is is running away.
The Ma family is the Liangzhou warlord, general, and aristocratic family. Although the overall cultural level is not high, he is looked down upon in the family. But among the five second-grade people in Daxia, there is one from the Ma family. It's Ma Fushao's father.
As a vested interest and second-generation ancestor, Ma Fushao is a rather strange person. I think about rebellion every day.
Because he doesn't like this court anyway. It was also because his father also wanted to rebel. Of course, they are different from those Liu Dangren and Wu Hui who looked at the imperial system and the poverty of the people and wanted to overthrow and rebuild it. Ma Fushao's father, General Ma, just wanted to be the emperor.
"Dad, when will we rebel?" Ma Fushao asked his father.
"Wait. The one who advances first dies first. We have to wait until they are beaten to a pulp before reaping the benefits. Do you know?" Lao Ma patted his son on the head.
Ma Fushao held his head and ran away: "Then can you live until then? Are you going to die on the way to hegemony? It's just right to leave your foundation to me and let me be the emperor."
After the scene of a loving father and a filial son, Ma Fushao and his son separated. Xiao Ma is preparing to lead troops to fight, while Lao Ma goes to have a small meeting with some second-grade monks in the east. Everyone needs to discuss how to solve the problems of rebellion and border troubles in various places. So that the order in front of us can last forever.
As for how many people have suffered in this thousands of generations, it is their fault.
"Liu Dangren can't wait to rebel in the south." Yuan Xingbang, the head of the Yuan family, was the first to put forward his own point of view.
"The timing is too bad." Xie Dingguo, the head of the Xie family, nodded in agreement.
"But it's troublesome." Wang Anmin, the head of the Wang family, said, "Liu Dangren is the strongest among the three ranks. Who can cure him except us personally?"
Ma Fushao's father, Ma Zhongliang, snorted disdainfully.
Because the Wang Anmin who said this was the unlucky guy who failed to win the one-on-one duel with Liu Dangren for a long time, and instead ended up in a tie, making Liu Dangren famous all over the world.
Among the four great families in the Central Plains, Wang Xie Yuan Xiao, Xiao is from the royal family. Then add a Xiliang Majia. They are five big families with second-level monks (equivalent to eighth-level players).
Of course, what everyone discussed today was relatively private, so no one from the Xiao family royal family was invited.
"There are no outsiders in this room today. You can say anything you want." Yuan Xingbang, the prime minister of the day, picked up a glass of wine and said: "The world is in turmoil, and you are all talented people. Do you have any good ideas?"
"When the rebellion in the south is like this, it must be quelled. As a general of chariots and cavalry, I, Xie Dingguo, have the duty to quell the south." Xie Dingguo spoke righteously. But everyone knows that his hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are afraid of being involved by Liu Dangren and Guan Shanjun.
"Then Jiangnan will be left to you. The Taishan bandit rebellion swept through Qingxu, and it seems that there are also third-grade monks among them. Old Wang, what do you think?"
"I have no official status and am just a teacher. What can I think?" Wang Anmin shook his head. He is the oldest and has long since resigned. It's just that there are still many of his students' family members in the officialdom, and Qingzhou and Xuzhou are basically controlled by him. He was also the examiner before the imperial examination was discontinued, and he succeeded in making 95% of the honors go to the aristocratic families.
So when he said that, it just made everyone want to laugh.
"Okay." Yuan Xingbang was a little unhappy: "Aren't you just seeing the chaos in the court and starting to think carefully about fighting for the throne? Who doesn't know. But as the prime minister, and the Yuan family is the largest family under the royal family, I’m not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?”
"Don't you know that you will lose your head if you fight for this? There are five second-grade people in Daxia Dynasty, and there are many outstanding people. In the end, there is only one winner. Is it really better than the current situation?"
"Now we can still have the Xiao family to help mediate. But in actual matters, shouldn't the five of us discuss it behind closed doors? Is it so important to be the nominal leader?"
Yuan Xingbang's very reasonable words left the careerists present speechless for a moment.
However, these are loyal and good people who rejuvenate the country and stabilize the people.
But there was no mention of the common people at all, only the unscrupulous exchange of power and interests.
Meat eaters are despicable, nothing more than that.
At this time, Youliang and foreign invaders were rising together, and rebellions continued in the south and east. Yizhou, the land of Sichuan and Shu, is isolated from the outside world. Even outside Luoyang, people began to starve to death.
But in the eyes of these second-grade monks, the world still belongs to them.
A little rebellion, as long as everyone takes action to solve those small problems personally, how can it threaten them? You need to know that they are all immortals on earth and gods on earth who can destroy a country by one person.
Those who don't die of hunger are just like the mantis with its arms stretched out. When a second-grade warrior takes action in person, what can he do?
"No matter how powerful a person is, as long as he still has social order and needs others to satisfy his desires, he cannot be a real god." On the grassland, Wu Hui, who was riding the same horse, explained to Li Xiaoyue in his arms the reason for his rebellion. plan.
Force can solve many problems, but it cannot solve all problems. No matter how strong I am, I will starve to death. Are you afraid that you will hack me to death?
If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?
Therefore, we must develop people's livelihood and rebuild order under the coercion of the enemy's force. And then there are the powerful conservative forces who are fighting against each other. These guys are by no means monolithic.
As long as there is enough time, a suitable institutional system and a huge base. Naturally, there will be strong ones among these rebels.
How can the population of a few families be compared to the population of the entire world?
Therefore, Wu Hui's preparations boil down to that jingle: build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king. The last thing about being king actually means not rushing to use your name to confront others head-on.
Lao Liu's approach was almost contrary to this formula, so everyone said that his timing was not good.
But seeing so many people dying on the roadside, Liu Dangren really couldn't help it.
Moreover, under this disadvantageous situation, he joined forces with Guan Shanting to reorganize the army, suppress the powerful powers in the south, win over poor families, and win over the hearts and minds of the local people. There are also Zhang Dingyang and other old troops who echo each other in the north. Unexpectedly, he has been supporting it all the time, leaving the court with nothing to do.
Of course the most important point is. Liu Dangren is the strongest among the three ranks. Apart from those five people, who in the world can deal with him?
