Chapter 470 The common people are the food in the stomach
Dong Hu knew that Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo with a beauty trick, but the specific details were not very clear. The Three Kingdoms did not give him a specific answer, but he could also see some clues from the many important appointments of the court. As for controlling the troops... As a general who has been in charge of troops for decades, it is normal to control the troops and horses.
Thinking of the appointments of many officials, he felt constantly moved, but he didn't want to interfere too much in these matters.
Scan everyone in the hall...
"The world of the Han Dynasty is not so much the world of the Liu clan, but rather the world of famous families, and the world of princes who have fiefs. Why do you say that?"
"Most of you are from Lintao, so we don't need to say much about the matter of the Dong family in Lintao. The land, servants, and tenants owned by the Dong family in Lintao are enough to crush any family in Lintao. Similarly, the large families in all prefectures, counties, counties, townships, and villages all have absolute local voice."
"So, if you gain the recognition of the great families of various prefectures and counties and the recognition of scholars in the world, the world will be stable and unrest. From this point of view, my uncle is more steadfast and more secure."
Dong Hu said: "My uncle has been in a high position and has been in the army for thirty years. It is understandable to be more secure, but we are more pessimistic than my uncle. We believe that we must be down-to-earth, step by step, and step by step."
"It's winter now, and there is no further news from the states and counties. It is still impossible to make the final decision of the states and counties 100%. But we must make the worst preparations. We need to prepare for the food rations of the people who moved the capital."
Dong Hu looked at a group of generals with a serious expression and said, "You are all generals of Dongbu Yicong. Unlike the Han soldiers of Meiyang and the Eighth Camp in Xiyuan, they can reach out to ask for money and food from the court, but from the very beginning, we have relied on the people behind us, and the people behind the farm provide us with food, swords, weapons and arrows."
"We are soldiers, not farming farmers, but the moment we started building Dongbuyi, we needed to farm. Why? It's because there are very few people behind us? It's because the people who support us are unable to support us?"
"So, only when there are enough people who support us can we become stronger!"
"The people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important."
"Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world!"
"Why?"
Dong Hu said seriously: "If the world is regarded as a giant dragon, the people will be the food swallowed by the dragon. If the food is fresh, the food will provide strong power for the dragon. But if the food is rotten and deteriorated, it will not only not provide strong power for the dragon, but will instead cause the dragon to get sick and diarrhea!"
"Then the question is, are the people of the Sili School Commander's Department fresh food for our Liangzhou army? Or have they changed food?"
"We think it's a food that has changed."
Dong Hu walked to Dong Mao, who looked solemn, and casually covered his shrinking leg with a blanket that had fallen at some point.
"Our Liangzhou Army Group has been in the Sili School Command for too short. The biggest disadvantage is that we have no foundation and no prestige. Although the people bow their heads under the pressure of swords, they do not support us in their hearts."
"The Guanzhong Plain, the Hedong County Plain, and the eight gates of Luoyang, these places are fertile plains, which are places where major families like to establish tribes. Secondly, the Sili School Command was the political center of the Han Dynasty and the powerful people like to pile up. Therefore, most of the people in these places have become the servants of the powerful and tenants, and the people who want to support them, so they are given priority to support them, and then they pay taxes to the court."
"The number of people in Luoyang is one million, Hongnong County is two hundred thousand, Sanfu is five hundred thousand, and Hedong County is four hundred thousand, which is two million. After deducting the amount of officials in the court, can the remaining taxes support 100,000 soldiers?"
Dong Hu couldn't help but smile and said, "This is impossible. Before the thieves in Liangzhou rebelled, and before the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled, the doctor ordered the soldiers and horses under the name of Jinwu and Weiwei. In addition, Chang'an Huya Camp and Fufeng Yongying, there were only 20,000 regular soldiers. Including the superior county lieutenant soldiers, there were not 50,000 soldiers in each county and county lieutenant. Please remember that before the Yellow Turban thieves rebelled, the 50,000 soldiers were not supported by the Sili lieutenant army, but by the thirteen states."
"So, according to normal methods, it is absolutely impossible for the two million people in the Sili School Command to be controlled by normal methods to support 100,000 soldiers and horses. They cannot provide supplies to the army. The dragon is like losing the strength to wield sharp minions. These people are useless. If they rebel, it is like a dragon swallowing broken food, and it is like a dragon having diarrhea after running out of stomach."
"But it's different after moving the capital. We have no choice but to the people within the Sanfu. These people are still dependent on the original families of Sanfu. But what about the people in Luoyang who moved the capital?"
"The people of Luoyang left their original fields and were forced to separate from their original dependent families, becoming free farmers without fields. Whoever provides them with fields and saves their lives will become tenants and servants, and these people will provide money, food and supplies for the dragon, and these people are fresh food that can increase their strength!"
The generals heard what he said so straightforwardly, even Liu Bian, who didn't understand anything, could all the generals not understand? They all straightened their bodies.
"We don't know whether my uncle moved the capital or not, but we must consider the worst case. We cannot lose too many people because of my uncle's hasty move. For us, every citizen is precious. Every clean citizen will be the food in our stomachs, clothes in our hands, and glory in our merits. We do not allow anyone to respond to the story in this matter! Whoever dares to lose the chain at a critical moment will stop him from all his duties without hesitation!"
"Never forgive me!"
Dong Hu looked stern, and all the generals bowed their fists together.
Gu She
"promise!"
Dong Hu stood in front of all the generals with his legs apart.
"It's mid-October and it's winter. If you want to move the capital, the best time is February and March. However, the specific situation is still unpredictable. Perhaps we were wrong. It's not necessarily that there are no rebels in various places to cause trouble. But as generals, we must consider the worst situation at all times!"
"We will lead the four cavalry camps in front, back, left and right after five days, the heavy armor cavalry camps, and the young military camps to Hedong County. Each battalion must be ready to start at any time!"
Dong Fu, Dong Fang, Dong Gu, Zhang Liao, Dong Jiaqi Camp, Dong Chong, and Young Military Camp, and Pang Deqi, came forward and clasped his fists.
"promise!"
Dong Hu nodded and looked at Sun Niu, the leader of the Pojun camp, and Hu San, the leader of the Shanzi camp.
"Pojunying, Shanziying stayed in Henan County, but you should take advantage of the time that you still have to cut down as many trees as possible. Craftsmen should make as many carriages and wheelbarrows as possible."
"The eldest son is in charge of the Pojunying, Shanziying, and Jiangzuoying, and is in charge of the manufacturing of vehicles."
When he said these words, Dong Mao had to stand up and clasp his fists like Sun Niu and Hu San.
"promise!"
Dong Hu looked at everyone one by one...
"That's all the things. All battalion commanders and envoys must seriously supervise each battalion. Those who climb high should be more trembling, as if they are on the abyss and walking on thin ice, because behind each of you each represents the life and death of at least thousands of brothers, and every negligence may be compensated with countless lives!"
"promise!"
Dozens of generals agreed in unison, and Dong Hu also ended the military discussion. The main purpose of this military discussion was to gather the whole nation. Liangzhou people are not very good-looking, short-sighted and selfish. If they do not explain the severe situation in the world clearly, and do not tell them that the "two counties and five states" have a population advantage of 26 million. Generals who have not suffered major setbacks are likely to be arrogant and arrogant. This is not a situation he is willing to see.
He said "uncertain" words, but he was sure that the "Eighteen Princes" would rebel next year, and he was sure that Dong Zhuo would move the capital to Chang'an. However, he was not sure when he would move the capital, so he could only make a rough judgment on the most favorable situation of Dong Zhuo based on the changes in seasons and changes in strength of the princes to attack Dong.
The severe situation has been explained clearly, and the generals should also deepen the importance of the free farmers. If he does not speak clearly, he will rely on the urinary nature of the people in the border areas and will not care about the lives and death of the people who are not their own people.
Dong Buyi has always been an independent existence, farming and supporting himself. Although there are many people behind it, what really supports them is the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army from Mayi to Pingcheng, and the old and weak in the Hehuang Valley. As for the Baibo army captured south and the people of Liangzhou, these people swallowed it up for too short time. Not only did they not provide a large amount of food and food for 200,000 Dong Buyi, but they wanted to feed them.
Since the rise of Dong Buyi in Liangbing, even if he feeds back to the people in these places, the generals in the army would not have much resistance. However, if they were asked to feed back to the people within the eight passes of Luoyang, the generals in the army would feel a lot of reluctance, especially the rejection of the people of Luoyang in the first year of Zhongping, and the indifference and ruthlessness of the people of Luoyang when the 200,000 Yellow Turban Army headed north to Bingzhou in winter. These are all old things from five years ago, but some things are like a knife marking the heart.
Some things must be explained carefully with the generals and explained clearly. The Dong Zhuo faction and Dong Hu faction of Liangzhou Army have already shown signs of division and fighting. Dong Hu would rather show weakness than in the Liangzhou army than infighting. In this case, what he needs is to consolidate the morale of the army in the headquarters.
After the military discussion, Dong Mao looked at Dong Hu with a strange look. Dong Hu's words in the hall were not at fault, but the implicit meaning was extremely obvious. That is, once the capital was moved, Dong Buyicon would swallow up Luoyang and Hongnong County million people.
Millions of people left the original land of survival and became free farmers without foundation. As long as the land was settled, these people became tenants of Dongbu Yicong and soldiers of the farmland. Then the question arises, the people were swallowed up by the humiliated boy. What should tens of thousands of soldiers eat in Luoyang Camp, Chang'an Camp, Xiyuan Eight Camp, and the twelve city gates led by Dong Zhuo?
After all the generals left, only Dong Mao, Dong Hu, Liu Bian and Xiao Dong Bai were left in the hall. Dong Mao smiled bitterly.
"Thuwa, if we tell my father about your military discussion today, my father might be really annoyed."
"hehe……"
Dong Hu couldn't help but smile.
"Let's make a promise first. If my uncle can let millions of people survive the famine and divide the land for the people, we and my brothers will never compete with my uncle for the people. But if my uncle can't support him, it means that if we don't interfere, these people will starve to death. If we steal it, it won't be a big blame for us!"
