Chapter 1009 Post-war cooking
Liu Xian now seems very tired. No, not only looks tired, but he is really tired. After all, Zeng Shengwu has encountered such a thing, so he naturally has no way to ask about the matter here. Moreover, although it has been more than half a year since the conquest of the sect, because the sect has been here for too long, the trouble left behind is even more.
Now, only Liu Xian is the only one who handles these things, which naturally makes him very tired. Not to mention, although Liu Xian, who was a general, does not know how to do these things, he naturally does not have people like Zeng Shengwu who are more skilled. Moreover, although Zeng Shengwu was unable to come to take charge of the overall situation, Liu Xian could also find people below to help.
However, the officials below turned their attention there because of Zeng Shengwu's affairs. Even if they came here, they were still in a daze and could not help at all. So, Liu Xian simply didn't want these people to come, and he was all responsible for it.
However, although these things made Liu Xian very tired. However, he didn't feel wronged in his heart, and even he liked to do such things. The battlefield before was where he made efforts, so it was naturally understandable. Although it was a success to conquer the slaughter people, this was a achievement that people in the past did not have, for Liu Xian, who has fought a war for a lifetime, the victory of this war is not worthy of boasting too much.
Liu Xian himself understood the most, but how much advantage he had in this war. First of all, compared to the bravery and good at fighting, there was a master like him here. Although it was a bit too arrogant to think so, but it was the fact that Liu Xian had never really lost the battle for his whole life. With a master like him, the weight of victory naturally increased a lot.
Furthermore, the imperial court planned this expedition against the people for a year. Although even Liu Xian knew the original intention was just a decision made by Gao Gong at that time that he was not very concerned about. But even if it was just his unintentional words, it had huge energy and could make things unusual. So, until the war started, whether it was manpower or material resources, it was fully prepared. The 140,000 army gathered here, which was an unimaginable force. Not to mention the military, food, grass and other supplies that had been prepared a year ago. By the time the conquest began, the things prepared were enough to consume half a year.
By the way, Zeng Shengwu also has the contribution of Zeng Shengwu. The beginning of this conquest was that the troops were sent to start. However, Liu Xian naturally understood the reason, and received the news that the Du Zhang Barbarians were about to rebel. However, if Zeng Shengwu had not made the decision, he would have asked Liu Xian to send troops first and then inform the court of the court, Liu Xian would not have been able to take the lead. If he could not take the lead, perhaps with the sufficient preparation here, the war could be won, but it would not have been as easy as it is now.
Of course, thinking of this, Liu Xian couldn't help but think that those who were pulled out of the prison and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder after a little training. If there were no such people, the number of deaths in the army's terracotta warriors would never be called a great victory in the current situation. After all, those cannon fodders that charge in the front will not be counted as the number of casualties.
Liu Xian was still controversial about this. Although he knew that this kind of battle would pull out the people in the local prison to charge and create opportunities for the formation, such things have never been missing since ancient times. However, Liu Xian did not disagree with this approach. However, he was very unaccustomed to doing this.
Not used to it? Liu Xian is a general who has fought for a lifetime. How could he not be used to this kind of thing? However, if you think about Liu Xian's past carefully, you will not be surprised. Liu Xian's fame was fought from the fight against the Japanese pirates. When fighting against the Japanese pirates, there is obviously no positional war. Even if you need those cannon fodder, it is useless. You have to rely on your own soldiers to fight bravely.
Even though local people volunteered, these people either joined the army and became real soldiers to fight; or they were armed at home to deal with the possibility of Japanese pirates rushing into their homes. But these are not the same as letting people in prison go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder. Therefore, Liu Xian was not used to it at all.
In Liu Xian's opinion, it is like taking prisoners to the battlefield from the prison. Perhaps some prisoners have really committed heinous crimes, and slashing his head ten times is not enough to erase the crimes he committed. Such people are worthy of death. If they can make some contributions to justice and victory of the war before death, it may not be a bad thing.
However, no matter where the prison is, such people always occupy a small number. More are those who have not made any big mistakes. Some of them are just stealing xiǎo. And because of this kind of thing, they will be sent to the battlefield and die, just because they did not arrive at a suitable time to commit a crime and were imprisoned. This seems a bit unfair.
What's more, there are too many unfair facts in this world. Even those who are imprisoned in a prison may not necessarily make any mistakes. There are also those who have been wronged and framed. What if these people die on the battlefield?
Thinking of this, Liu Xian naturally thought of the troubles Zeng Xianwu encountered now. By the way, wasn’t Zeng Xianwu’s troubles just because of this kind of thing? Wasn’t it because his subordinates wronged a good man, and eventually, the good man lost his life under his nose. Liu Xian had never even seen that person.
And these are also the reason why Liu Xian has not disturbed Zeng Shengwu's affairs now. Of course, he naturally heard about the things in Chengdu. He also felt that Zhang Fan's blatant trouble for Zeng Shengwu was not correct, and it was not that he felt that Zhang Fan had done too much, but that he couldn't understand why Zhang Fan did this.
However, no matter what, Liu Xian did not participate in this matter. It was not that he didn't want to help Zeng Shengwu, and his relationship with Zeng Shengwu was also quite good. It was not that he felt that Zeng Shengwu had really done something wrong, after all, it was also the full text that he did without him hiding.
Liu Xian just felt that he could not judge whether it was good or bad in this matter, nor could he understand who was right or who was wrong. Since he couldn't even tell who was right or wrong, how could he talk? Thinking about this, Liu Xian made a decision, and he decided not to participate in this matter.
Therefore, during this period, Liu Xian simply focused his efforts on dealing with the problems left by the sects. Including informing all ethnic groups and appeaseing those who thought they would be the next target because the imperial court destroyed the sects, so that they would not have to panic.
Also, with the disappearance of the sects, a lot of land was expanded here. Among them, the court accepted part of it, and left another part. Those were actually left for the surrounding tribes, and for comfort, they were afraid that these people would cause any trouble if they were dissatisfied with the court.
But this matter is not as simple as it seems. You can ignore these lands by leaving these people. You must know how important so much land is to these ethnic minorities. Therefore, it is obvious that these people's desire for these lands will definitely be a fight. In the fight, it is inevitable that weapons will be connected. In this way, there will be conflicts again.
It sounds like nothing important to this kind of conflict. After all, these conflicts are not about the Han people, but are just about these foreigners. Although they are all on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the court did not think that these people were just obeying discipline. Letting them lose their vitality in the fight is also a good choice.
However, there is naturally a reason for Liu Xian here. He just wanted to prevent the fight between these foreigners from being involved in the Han people. They fought each other themselves, and Liu Xian didn't care about it, but when it came to the Han people's problems, Liu Xian would ask his subordinates to lead troops to solve it.
So far, more than half a year has passed, and Liu Xian sent out 24 troops to resolve more than a hundred disputes involving the Han people. Even so, even if he has not carefully settled it, in the past six months, more than a hundred Han people were involved in such a thing and died.
If Liu Xian has any worries in his heart now, this is the only thing he has.
This period of time, perhaps because the winter solstice has already been, and for more than half a year, although there are still some disputes now, basically, the land left for each ethnic group has been divided up by each ethnic group. So this period of time has made Liu Xian much more leisurely.
However, this is how this person is. When he comes, he is very motivated at the beginning. But after a long time, he will feel very unhappy. When things gradually calm down, he will start to feel bored again. Liu Xian is in this boring stage.
The same is true today. There is nothing wrong with Liu Xian holding a book in his military tent. However, it has been almost two hours since he picked up the book, but a page has not been turned over. Obviously, Liu Xian has no intention of reading books now.
Until his son Liu Zhen opened the tent and walked in, telling him that someone had come to find him.
