Wang Miaoyin's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Liu Laozhi's appearance is just an accident, and it is not universal. Mu Zhi, don't use him as an example."
Liu Muzhi shook his head: "What about Su Jun, Zu Yue and others during the founding of the Jin Dynasty? Is it also a coincidence?"
Wang Miaoyin frowned and did not answer the question.
Liu Muzhi sighed and said: "Miaoyin, you have never been in the army, so you don't know what the soldiers think. You, the children of aristocratic families, are aloof and unwilling to join the army. They are naturally separated from these soldiers. Liu Muzhi , Su Jun, including Jinu and others, ate and lived with the soldiers. In their eyes, these commanders were not only superiors, but also brothers, even fathers and uncles. With one order, they could make the soldiers They follow blindly regardless of their lives.”
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, for the sergeants, the court, the emperor, and the officials are far away, but the generals are close. If the generals give an order, no matter what they are asked to do, they will agree. What the fat man said just now Although a few people rebelled due to their own ambitions, how could they respond to everything if they had not established a closer relationship with the sergeants than with the imperial court?"
Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth: "Therefore, our noble family has to preserve its own weapons. Otherwise, once you generals and marshals have different intentions, wouldn't we be at the mercy of others?"
Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "But, under what circumstances did they rebel against those people I mentioned just now? Did they always have ambitions and want to become kings on their own? I'm afraid not, Miaoyin. They are all from your family. The big clans wanted to seize people's armies, merge their tribes, and remove their military power, so they forced these generals who held military power to rebel. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would still be loyal ministers of the Jin Dynasty and leave a good name."
Having said this, Liu Muzhi looked at Liu Yu: "Jinu, you are most familiar with Liu Laozhi. Do you think he had any objections early on and wanted to lay out his business early?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "Liu Laozhi is a pure warrior and warlord. As long as he can remain the leader of Beifu and lead the troops, he will not rebel. The reason why he rebelled three times is mainly because others want to deprive him of his military power."
Wang Miaoyin said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the noble family will not take away your military power from Liu Cheqi. What they want is to integrate the Xianbei people into the manor and become a tribe. How can these infringe on the interests of any of your generals?" Already?"
Liu Muzhi sighed: "Miaoyin, don't you, a smart person like you, understand what I mean? What I want to say is that an army formed by imposing will on others and depriving people of their freedom will not be truly effective. Taking orders from you, the so-called forceful melon is not sweet. What soldiers want first is freedom and freedom. Military discipline is enough to suppress their personality. Who can bear it if you continue to be a slave for another generation?!"
Wang Miaoyin said unconvinced: "World soldiers and military households have existed since ancient times, why can't you stand it? As long as they fight with peace of mind and make great achievements, they can leave their citizenship and become civilian households, and be promoted to generals. Even if they have not made any achievements, they will not have enough food and clothing. Worry, why did you bully them?"
Liu Muzhi looked at Wang Miaoyin and said calmly: "Miaoyin, let me ask you, when you were a nun in Jianjing Temple, you were well-dressed and well-fed. Do you think you were not bullied?"
This stabbed the scar in Wang Miaoyin's heart. A trace of sadness flashed across her face, she closed her eyes and murmured: "Stop talking, Mu Zhi, I don't want to think about that past, not even for a moment."
Liu Muzhi nodded: "I'm sorry, I have to bring back sad memories for you, but don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Why has the Jin Dynasty been governed by a military household system since the founding of the country, but its combat effectiveness is very low? ? At the founding of the People's Republic of China, these guardsmen were far inferior to those of the refugee commanders. That's why your Xie family changed to recruiting troops before the Battle of Feishui, attracting heroes from all over the world to join the Beifu army. Tell me, why did the Xianggong and others attack Beifu back then? What if the military does not follow this kind of military household and slave status, but is a free man from the beginning?"
Wang Miaoyin opened her eyes and said, "We are facing a powerful enemy, and we don't have enough manpower. We can only do things cheaply."
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Then why after the war, the Xie family couldn't take the Beifu army as private soldiers and turn them into slaves of the big family. What about the bankers? Miaoyin, you are an expert in the family, you are knowledgeable. Great talents will understand one thing. If you are just doing ordinary production such as farming, fishing and hunting, you can be a banker or a tenant, which is barely possible, but for a soldier who is born into death and licks blood with the blade of a knife, this is absolutely unacceptable. of!"
Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth and pointed at Murong Lan: "I don't believe it, Mu Zhi, many of the Xianbei people are slaves, or to put it more nicely, they are new members of the tribe, but they are still prisoners of war from other tribes. There is no freedom at all, but many of these people are very capable of fighting, so how do you explain it?"
Having said this, Wang Miaoyin sneered and said: "Even nearly 30% of the armored cavalry are this kind of slaves."
Murong Lan nodded: "You are right. According to the rules of our grassland, captives who are defeated in battle are slaves. I have never evaded this point. Therefore, if you capture our soldiers and civilians on the battlefield today, they will be your slaves." I have nothing to say about being a banker in the Saga Manor."
At this point, her tone changed: "However, the Nanyan soldiers and civilians who are not in your hands and have retreated into the inner city are now free. If the peace I am negotiating with you now succeeds, it will only be based on the rights of free people." The status belongs to the Jin Dynasty, you cannot use the status of slaves to deal with our people casually, Miaoyin, do you understand?"
Wang Miaoyin gritted her teeth: "What a smart Princess Murong. When we were completely defeated, our soldiers in the outer city could have captured tens of thousands of people. You said you wanted to cease the war as soon as you came, just to prevent us from catching them. .”
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "Why didn't you say that if I hadn't taken action, Liu Yu and you might have died. Then the outcome would not be certain, so why talk about prisoners? We are negotiating peace now on the current conditions. Don't make assumptions. Nothing else. And..."
At this point, she paused and said in a deep voice: "However, on our grassland, even as a slave, there is still hope. If you make meritorious service in battle, like ordinary tribesmen and soldiers, you can be rewarded according to the size of your merits. Those who were given the spoils of war and then redeemed themselves with the property.”
"Here in our grassland, even the humblest slave can stand up in one battle and even become an emperor, such as Shi Le. But if he becomes a banker, buqu, or music member of your family, then I'm afraid he has to be Life after life, our children and grandchildren will be slaves, and we will never be able to get rid of it."
"Don't talk about evil families like the Diao family. Don't you, the bankers of the Xie family, also pass on to your children and grandchildren for several generations? The biggest difference between you and us is two words, hope!"
