"If we explain the enemies on the surface, wouldn't they be Shi Liushou, Chen Zhoumu and others, as well as their interested families, subordinates and others? Maybe there are also some noble families in the city who do not want to change the status quo, or whose interests will be harmed because of this?"
When the little round-faced man heard this, he raised his head seriously, counted with his fingers and said:
"If they are my subordinates, then only the close followers and the imprisoned Hong Dashou and others are left? Now maybe there are also five more guards and sergeants from various sects?"
"If we talk about the power that can be fought for, does it include the officials in the two governments and one department in the city who still respect the rules and regulations, as well as the common people who still want to be in the official position? Maybe there are also the ministers of the princes outside the city, A feudal lord?"
"As for potential help, could it be that among the vassals and ministers in neighboring Hanzhou and Yuanzhou, as well as the many local ministers appointed by the official office, there should also be potential loyal and good people who can be used?"
"Finally, the targets that need to be resolutely attacked and eradicated should actually be concentrated on the Shi family, the Chen family, the rebel ministers led by the small group of people who rebelled, and the vassal mansions and clan leaders behind them?"
Having said this, the little round-faced boy continued to ask in an obedient and studious manner:
"That's all Man'er can think of. Next, ask the ancestor to teach me!"
"It's pretty good that you've come up with this step. But although what you said is roughly correct, it's not complete either."
Jiang Tian nodded slightly, thinking that children can be taught.
"First of all, you have to figure out one thing, which is, what is the basic base and the people you can rely on for the platform and army you want to build now?"
"Could it be the ministers of the duke, the vassal officials and the common people? Maybe there are also the children of good families who are well-off and wealthy in the city?"
The little round-faced man thought hard for a moment before saying:
"Yes, these two places are the foundation of the five capitals, the guarding army, and the three government officials. They are also the natural advantages of your reputation. As long as you give some preferential treatment and promote new talents, you will naturally be safe; but That alone is not enough.”
Jiang Tian nodded in agreement and said:
"Then, are there still scholars in the countryside, common people in the city, craftsmen, merchants and the like?"
The little round-faced man thought again and said:
"Yes, as long as you are willing to give them a chance to stand out and set a suitable example, some people will naturally flock to you. Although they are not of high origin, in addition to joining the army, they can also serve as the industry's eyes and ears in the market. "
Jiang Tian nodded again and encouraged:
"In this case, it seems that the vassal families in the northern states, the vassals and the families of ministers, and the children from the side branches can also consider selecting the best and using them."
The little round face immediately drew inferences and said:
"That's right. The biggest role of Xingtai at this time is to unite and absorb the power of the vast number of officials and people in the North; to attack a small group of scum who are colluding with foreign enemies or ruining the situation, and to win over those who are neutral and wait-and-see. ; Only then will it be possible to gain a firm foothold and even plan to counterattack the motherland in the future."
Jiang Tian couldn't help but pat his head in approval and said:
"However, you have actually overlooked an important variable and existence; if you don't pay attention to it, big problems may occur in the future."
"Please ask me, ancestor, to clear up my doubts."
The little round face quickly turned around to face him and asked for advice:
Jiang Tian touched her head before continuing:
"They are the many refugees who fled north! After being displaced, most of them are young and strong. What do you think they will do in the places they pass when they are hungry and cold?"
"So once you take control of the situation, you must collect them on the pretext of providing porridge relief. After confiscating the properties and properties of the rebels and rebellious parties outside the city, you can choose a place to resettle and organize them for cultivation. Shengju.”
"Then, select strong men among them, and train them daily with mature soldiers. Over time, you will have a team whose wealth and future depend on the gains and losses of your career, fully relying on your exclusive military strength."
"Furthermore, none of them have much involvement with the local area. Once organized into a military system, they will be used to pacify the local area and eliminate banditry. They will undoubtedly be able to better enforce orders and prohibitions and give orders without fear."
"This can also serve as a disguised form of deterrence and balance. In the future, in the armies to which Xingtai belongs, local people will be united by local kinship, and even specific generals and soldiers will be unable to lose."
"What's more, once the people of this generation are trained and formed into an army, they will naturally have the desire to fight back home. They will be the backbone and vanguard of recovering the country in the future; just like the story of the Beifu Army in the past!"
When Jiang Tian said this, he looked at the little round face whose breathing became rapid and the cute face turned red. He paused and added:
"Of course, in this process, it is necessary to employ people appropriately and to avoid overcorrecting or deliberately distorting human factors in the actual implementation, so as to prevent it from becoming a bad government that disturbs the people and harms the people; or even intensifies the contradiction between natives and guests.
"
"Then no matter which side you choose to lean towards, the final result will be to seriously damage your own prestige and foundation. It will only benefit those who work in the middle, stir up trouble, and coerce the public opinion of their self-respect."
"So, you need to establish a basic assessment standard and a bottom-up supervision system; but this kind of thing can be done slowly, and after problems are encountered during the implementation, it can be gradually improved and supplemented."
Then, Jiang Tian went on to talk about another important point:
"Of course, as a person in charge of authority, your ethics can be low and your moral character can be bad. But you must make clear rewards and punishments. You must practice what you say and what you do must have consequences. Do not follow your whims or your will; because once you make a decision After that, what is affected is the honor, disgrace, gain and loss of thousands of people.”
"Therefore, after you take control of the power, the first people you must reuse and entrust with important positions are those close and personal followers like Hong Dashou who have followed you all the way and have endured the test of adversity. Am I right? "
"But relying on them alone is not enough. It can easily lead to a one-sided conflict between host and object, and give rise to new troubles. Therefore, next, you should promote the middle and lower-level generals in the rear five capitals, guards, and thieves."
"Especially those candidates who have outstanding specialties or experienced faces, but have been frustrated and delayed for a long time due to their background or personality, will form a community of interests centered on you in the first place."
"At this point, naturally some people will see the benefits and pros and cons; and then take the initiative to serve you and serve in various ways. In this way, you can select and assess them, select the best and award them with official status."
"So, maintaining a simple two-level parity on a daily basis is far from enough to maintain balance; only a three-legged confrontation is more stable. It would be better if the four corners and five parties can be maintained simultaneously, so that you can be the president in the middle."
When the little round-faced man heard this, his eyes filled with more admiration and admiration, and he felt so happy and grateful in his heart. This ancestor must have been an extraordinary person before he ascended to immortality. He was even willing to teach himself this control method that was obviously the emperor's mental skill.
At this time, Jiang Tian, who was in the state of full-throttle talk, did not notice her current state, and continued to talk about the third point in excitement:
"Furthermore, you need to have a clear goal and direction, and develop a set of short, medium and long-term phased programs, or feasibility plans. To attract and gather like-minded people to become your followers."
"There is no need for overly complicated slogans at the beginning. The ideas should be as concise and catchy as possible; such as preserving the hometown, guarding the land and territory, protecting the country and saving the people, expelling foreigners, and recovering Haidong; this is a call for gradual progress."
"For another example, you can set a small goal in the short term, which is to work together to protect the land and the people; to unite and win people's hearts. At the same time, you can publicize and endorse your righteousness of concentrating power and training troops."
"Then here, there is another extended question: what price and sacrifice are you willing to pay for this series of goals; and what kind of moral and ethical bottom line you are willing to adhere to and maintain."
"Don't underestimate this issue. It also involves your personal prestige, reputation and influence, as well as the popular support and retention of many officials and civilians under you; as well as the stability of the political system."
"Compared with the world's fear of a violent lord who is unscrupulous, unscrupulous, and unreasonable in joy and anger, it is easier to gather and influence the hearts of people who are obviously doing something and not doing something, seeking profit and not harming."
"Furthermore, can you understand the boundaries of what you can achieve and achieve based on your current abilities and power; and what is the specific gap between reality and your subjective expectations? Self-knowledge is very important."
"Being able to understand these will not only increase your probability of success, but also ensure that you can protect yourself and restore the lower limit of the situation in the face of accidents and variables. As the saying goes, it is the basic principle of knowing yourself and the enemy to be invincible in a hundred battles."
"Then I would like to add one final point. The so-called person who does big things without sticking to trivial matters does not mean that in order to achieve the goal, you can have no lower limits and principles, be unscrupulous, act recklessly, and use any means; but it represents a kind of person who will not give up until the goal is achieved. Determination.”
“Since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have been determined and perseverant; even though they have experienced countless setbacks and narrow escapes, they have always determined the direction and goal and never let go, let alone the side effects in the process.
Shaky and overwrought. "
"At the same time, you have to remember that sometimes they are completely different from you; most of the vassals, ministers, and retainers may only lose some power and wealth after surrendering, but they can continue to retain everything as before. Or even Benefit from this."
"But since you are a member of the official bloodline, you are a natural potential threat and obstacle to the foreign enemies and rebel parties who have seized the country. The best result is to be imprisoned and arrange to give birth to a puppet bloodline, and then... No membership
The unknown died an untimely death. "
"Madoka, are you okay?"
After saying so much in one hearty breath, Jiang Tian, who was still unfinished, came back to his senses. But when he saw the little round face looking at each other in a daze, he couldn't help but put out his hands and groped a few times on her slippery little face, only to feel it was a little hot. He couldn't help but worry:
"Man'er is fine... It's just that I really don't know how to repay my ancestor's kindness like the sea..."
But in the trembling voice as thin as a mosquito, the small round face suddenly raised her head straight into his arms like an ostrich.
In fact, when he heard the word bloodline, the little round-faced boy suddenly remembered something and came back to his senses, only to find that without even realizing it, he had already sat astride him in a strange posture that could easily be misunderstood. In the arms of the "ancestor";
So, full of shame and embarrassment, she just wanted to find a place to hide. She didn't know why her little head was burning red, and it was almost steaming out of her head. However, Jiang Tian suddenly held her down and said:
"Wait, don't move."
The little round face couldn't help but tremble in her heart, but she couldn't help but think of many rumors, such as the previous Silla Dynasty, the bone system had been abolished; but she was filled with a faint sense of guilt and inexplicable emotions, and she obediently followed the trend and attached it all over her body. . However, Jiang Tian suddenly sneered:
"We have an unexpected visitor."
However, on the outer wall of this large building, several figures suddenly appeared one after another, with their bodies wrapped tightly.
