The ability to reach a consensus on this issue is actually thanks to the Sichuan and Shu social elites who have taken refuge in various armies.
They did not want Sichuan and Shu to really enter the Warring States Period, especially during this period of internal and external troubles. It would not be beneficial to everyone to bring about the Warring States Period. If the situation was not preserved, the Ming Dynasty would pluck the peaches.
When the Ming Dynasty comes, won't these powerful landlords be doomed?
Therefore, no matter what, the Ming Kingdom cannot be allowed to take over Sichuan and Shu. As long as the needs of all aspects can be bridged, it is actually the best to form an alliance among everyone.
Unite, deal with the enemy together, and then divide the benefits together. All differences operate within a unified framework to ensure that conflicts will not break out or cause conflicts between each other.
Under such a basic consensus, the elites of Sichuan and Sichuan persuaded their respective warlord leaders, and through a joint attack with good words and beautiful pillow style, they finally managed to reach a consensus.
Whoever is the first to invade Chengdu will have the greatest advantage. Whoever can kill the Dog Emperor and seize the Bird throne. Everyone will respect this person as the new Emperor and listen to his orders.
The new emperor can direct the distribution of the spoils, but he can't go too far. He can share more, but he can't completely deny it to everyone.
Moreover, after the new emperor ascends the throne, and everyone recognizes his status and listens to his orders, he must also ensure everyone's interests. He must be given no less territory, and no less status and official positions.
This is the premise of everything.
The biggest threat to everyone at present is not the Chengdu court, but the covetous Ming Dynasty and Lin'an puppet dynasty. In order to safeguard everyone's interests and the interests of the Sichuan and Shu elites, we must reach a consensus after destroying the Chengdu court and gather all The force resisted the Ming Dynasty and the Lin'an Puppet Dynasty.
Before that, let’s capture the city of Chengdu first.
If we can’t win the city of Chengdu, everything we talk about is false.
Indeed, it is not easy to capture the city of Chengdu. Just looking at the height and thickness of the moat and Chengdu city wall, you know that it is not easy.
All the military strongholds outside Chengdu City have been wiped out by them, and there is no danger. However, the toughness of Chengdu City itself still exceeds their imagination.
From the time Lu Hu led his army to Chengdu in late October and launched the attack, he realized that this would be a difficult and protracted battle.
The toughness of Chengdu City is beyond imagination, and the entire city wall has been renovated quite well. He attacked many times, but was beaten back before he could even cross the moat.
Realizing that it was impossible for his own army to capture the city of Chengdu, and realizing that it was impossible to dominate Sichuan and Shu with his own military power alone, Lu Hucai continued to wait for the arrival of the rest of the army, otherwise he would have already entered the city of Chengdu and killed the dog. The emperor has taken the throne.
In fact, this is also true. The reason why this unprecedented Chengdu Metropolitan Alliance can proceed smoothly is mainly because none of the seven warlords can do anything to others. No one can solve the city of Chengdu alone. Everyone has the same food and is in the Sichuan-Sichuan region. Under the excellent matching mechanism.
In this case, it is a joke to discuss who can dominate Sichuan and Shu. How to distribute the benefits is the most important thing.
The agreement they reached is the only agreement that everyone can accept. Within the framework of this agreement, everyone can maintain maximum initiative and order.
So the siege of Chengdu City began under the arrangement of order.
Each army took turns to attack the city of Chengdu, basically not giving the city any chance to breathe. When it was their turn, they attacked the city bravely. Everyone wanted to be the first to break in, kill the dog emperor, and seize the bird position.
However, the Chengdu city defense army under the command of Wu Ting was not a vegetarian, and was also trained by Wu Lin.
When it was decided to leave an army to garrison Chengdu, it was also the army that had been trained for the longest time and had the highest proportion of veterans.
Therefore, Wu Lin really left a lot of things to the Chengdu court, not only Chengdu's city defense army, but also the northern Sichuan defense line, as well as a series of food reserves and material reserves, etc.
Without Wu Lin's legacy, the Chengdu court would really not be able to fight this battle.
This army also chose to obey Wu Ting's orders because of Wu Ting's identity. After receiving the money from the Chengdu court, they picked up the heavy iron coins and began a brave and tenacious battle.
This time, in order to survive, the Chengdu court completely released all resources. Ma Yongkang pooled all Chengdu's resources together and provided the best food and equipment for the army.
During the period when Wu Lin was leading the city's defense, he accumulated a large amount of grain for Chengdu out of a sense of urgency, and saved enough to use it for three years.
Not only that, because the local Sichuan forces in Chengdu were purged beforehand, the opposition forces in Chengdu have been completely defeated by outside factions, so the internal consumption of resources has been greatly reduced, and more resources can be provided to the army, allowing the army to Play to a better level.
So during this period when the weather was getting colder, the city defense troops inside Chengdu put on thick clothes earlier than the troops attacking outside the city, and also received preferential treatment of two dry meals a day.
Not only that, the night watch army also has an extra midnight snack to eat, so they basically won't go hungry.
Facing huge pressure, the city's bureaucrats were cautious and did not dare to squeeze the soldiers and cause civil strife, so they took the initiative to curb their behavior.
Not to mention the army outside the city, when comparing themselves vertically in the past, they all felt that this was the most comfortable period of life since joining the army and even since they were born.
No need to freeze, no need to starve, and there is still money to take.
When did you live like this in the past?
It would be great if I could maintain such a life forever. Even if it is precarious, even if I may die at any time, it is really happy to have enough food and clothing.
In comparison, the armies of the seven major warlords outside Chengdu did not have such a good life.
Lack of food and clothing is the most basic thing.
Because the bases of the seven warlords are located at different distances from the city of Chengdu, and in order to avoid any conflicts among themselves, they do not exchange military supplies. They all settle accounts independently. You eat what you have, and I eat what I have. Mine, don't engage in series connection.
In this way, the armies of warlords who are closer to each other and have better foundations can be better fed and more heavily clothed.
The armies of warlords who are far away and have weak foundations are in dire straits, and their lives may be worse than those of beggars.
Because Lu Yu's army was close to Chengdu and was the first to complete the warlordization process, it was the first to form a system. The major families that dominated the three states took on the logistics tasks of the army, providing the most complete guarantee for his army. , so that the army in the mainland does not have the risk of not having enough to eat.
It's just that because of the existence of some corruption, the logistics bureaucrats in the army have been messing around, which has reduced the food that could have been eaten by the soldiers.
Of course, there is absolutely no need to eat.
In contrast, the beggar army commanded by Zhou Qixiang, whose home base is in Fushun prison, and the army led by Hou Pu, whose home base is in Langzhou, are more difficult. Logistics and transportation are very difficult, and some have to borrow the territory of other warlords to survive. Tight.
It is natural that the upper-level officers and leaders spend a lot of time and money, and they will never be hungry at any time.
But the life of the grassroots soldiers is miserable.
When there is no war, the soldiers are considered lucky if they can get a small meal in a day. Only when they are fighting can they get a dry meal in front of the battle. Even so, they may not be able to have a full stomach, and they have to eat without wiping their mouths clean. Being forced to go to the battlefield to fight, it is still unclear whether he can survive.
In other aspects, Lu?'s department performed best, while Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's departments performed the worst.
Weapons and equipment, military uniforms, some living supplies for the army camps, etc., Lu?'s headquarters are envied by others, while Zhou Qixiang and Hou Pu's headquarters are made a joke.
It is said that people have joys and sorrows, and cows and horses embellish life. For the old world ruled by superior people, the miserable lives of cows and horses are viewed by them as a contrast.
Only by having cows and horses can they enhance their sense of superiority and make them truly feel their nobility. And from an objective point of view, if the cows and horses can have enough food and clothing, their living standards will definitely decline.
Only cruel exploitation can make their lives luxurious. The more cruel the exploitation, the more luxurious their lives will be.
In contrast, the good life of the cows and horses is not achieved by themselves, but also by comparison.
As long as you see other people's cows and horses living worse than yourself, and you have food to eat while other people's cows and horses have nothing to eat, then the cows and horses whose life is a little better will raise their heads proudly——
They looked at the noble gentlemen who were warming themselves over the fire and eating hot pot in the luxurious and comfortable houses. Their eyes were full of gratitude and their hearts were full of gratitude, as if they themselves were enjoying the good food and drink with the gentlemen.
The happiness suddenly increased several levels.
Therefore, the cows and horses do not need the masters to build houses or schools for them, nor do they need to increase their wages or take paid vacations. Even the slaps slapped on their faces by the masters are more important.
The master's slap today was lighter than yesterday's. Yesterday the corner of his mouth was broken and bleeding, but today it was just a swollen face.
The master really cares about me!
