Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1764 Borrowing a knife to kill people

In fact, Fang Jun's perception of the aristocratic family is very contradictory.

Most of the earliest aristocratic families were officially appointed nobles. Relying on the political and economic privileges obtained by their ancestors, they sent a large number of outstanding children from the family to the central and local areas. The important position of the imperial court forms the power of family and surname.

In the end, they seized political power on the basis of blood, and economic interests on the basis of geography, and became a powerful family.

What is a "door valve"?
Valve, the earliest meaning of this word is a pillar. In ancient times, there were two pillars on the left and right sides of the main entrance. The left is "valve" and the right is "yue". In the Chronology of the Great Ancestor Hou Zhe, it was said: "Ming Qi and others are called clans, and the accumulation of days is reading."

What does that mean?

It means that what level of credit is called a valve, and the experience of being an official is called reading.

It can be seen from this that without the meritorious deeds of the ancestors, without the officials of many generations, it cannot be called a "family"...

However, it should be noted that the most fundamental reason why aristocratic families can still maintain their strong competitiveness and social status in the face of dynasties is not the shadow of their ancestors, but the hard work of the children of the family to study and govern the country generation after generation. The general strategy, study the knowledge of helping the world, read poems and books full of economics, become outstanding talents, and become the ruling class.

And what are these strategies of governing the country and knowledge of helping the world?

It can be "Spring and Autumn", it can be "Historical Records", it can be "Analects of Confucius", it can be "University"... However, no matter what kind of book it is, these are the splendid culture created by the Chinese nation in the long history.Because the aristocratic family has monopolized the education during this period, these civilizations originated from the Chinese ancestors are naturally under the control of the aristocratic family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to touch.

As we all know, in the history of China, there have been several disasters that almost wiped out the genus, such as the Wuhu chaos in China, such as Mongolia | In the middle of the war, the social system completely collapsed, and the Chinese civilization was facing extinction. It was the aristocratic family who inherited the essence of the Chinese civilization that undertook the inheritance of the Chinese civilization.

From this aspect, the achievements of the aristocratic families shine through the ages!
Of course, although the aristocratic families have inherited Chinese civilization, this is not their original intention. It is precisely because of the existence of the aristocratic families that the "Eight Kings Rebellion" occurred in the Western Jin Dynasty and led to the "Five Husbands". Daming's family property was destroyed, which led to the "Manchu entry into the customs"...

Merits and demerits, right and wrong, who can tell?

*****
Without going through an earth-shattering social change, the foundation of the aristocratic family will not be cut off.

There is no need to be so decisive...

It is only necessary to cut off the minions of the aristocratic family, so that they cannot have the ability to control the court as they like before. The so-called "scholars can't rebel for ten years", without the armed forces inherited from the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, even if the aristocratic family has the ability to do whatever they want. No matter how huge the influence is, it should not be feared.

Why did the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty become a disaster, and finally exacerbated the demise of this great empire?

Its essence is not the strategy of the feudal town, but the powerful destructive force unleashed by the gangsters of the aristocratic family and the feudal town colluding with each other to seize power, shaking the foundation of the entire society...

Blood will always flow, and if it flows now, it may flow less in the future.

Therefore, when Su Dingfang showed regret, Fang Jun said decisively: "Compassion does not command soldiers, love does not stand up for affairs, righteousness does not manage money, and kindness does not serve as an official! Today, the private soldiers and dead soldiers of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will not be ruined at the hands of pirates." In the future, the imperial army must face it head-on! With these private soldiers and dead soldiers, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will have nothing to fear, and they will never be able to truly return to the Tang Dynasty. Different minds."

Su Dingfang was silent.

He is not a benevolent person. He is used to killing in the army, and he doesn't take his own life seriously. How can he care about other people's lives?It's just that in recent years, the Tang army has been fighting in the south and in the north, and they have always fought against the barbarians. The swords and guns are all enemy chiefs, and death is death, which is commonplace.However, although so many people of the Tang Dynasty were not killed by themselves, they died because of their own indifference. It is always uncomfortable...

Liu Renyuan didn't have these thoughts, he only recognized Fang Jun's words, if Fang Jun said he deserved to die, he deserved to die, he didn't need to do it himself, just rejoicing, what kind of spring was hurt, what kind of autumn was sad?

"Your Majesty, now that the pirates have encountered a big victory, they must relax their defenses. Why don't you pull the anchor and set sail immediately, and attack them halfway when they retreat?"

Fang Jun shook his head slowly, and said: "The defense will definitely be relaxed, but it is just a group of mobs. The private soldiers and dead soldiers of the Jiangnan gentry were slaughtered after winning the battle, but how can they be the opponents of the elite soldiers and strong generals in our navy army?" ? Demons and monsters, it’s just a matter of turning your hands and ears to wipe them out. It’s just that the pirates are returning loudly at this moment, and their morale must be high. After the lair, if you hide and kill them at night, you will surely win easily. Moreover, all the pirate ships will be stationed on the shore by then, so it will be relatively easy to capture."

Once the pirates returned to their lairs, they would definitely go ashore to celebrate and clean up the looted supplies. At that time, the people would be exhausted and the land and sea would be divided into two.Otherwise, if they ambushed halfway, the pirates would inevitably resist fiercely, and even if they won, they would inevitably lose most of their warships and cargo ships.

Seeing that the Eastern Expedition is about to start in the spring, a large number of ships are needed to transport food, fodder and military supplies by sea. With such a large number of ships sent for nothing, why not?After the Eastern Expedition, it can be sold to merchants along the coast, and it can be exchanged for a large sum of money.

That's all money...

Su Dingfang did not refute. He nodded in agreement with Fang Jun's strategy. It is not advisable to ambush halfway. Relatively speaking, it is easier to encircle and suppress the pirate's lair.

He looked at the captain who reported the letter, and asked, "How about our secret line?"

The captain said: "The dark line lurking among the pirates is very safe. It is the message from there that the general can fully grasp the movements of the pirates. The merchant fleet..." He paused and continued. : "It is very likely that he has died in the line of duty, and no news has been sent back so far."

The entire fleet was almost wiped out, and the chances of surviving were already very small.

Fang Jun's face was solemn, and he ordered: "Check it out immediately. If your life is safe, you will be promoted to a higher rank, and you will be rewarded with a reward of [-] yi. If you have died in the line of duty... one of his sons will be sent to study in the Naval Academy. !"

Yi is a unit of weight, about 20 taels, which is less than a catty and a half in this era.

The "reward of ten 镒" is not a reward of gold, but copper coins. In ancient times, "give gold" was "bronze" most of the time...

This is still an extremely heavy reward.

Not to mention that one of his sons will enter the Naval Academy to study, and then he will take up the post of his father, which means that as long as he enters the Naval Academy after graduation, he will be the core backbone and the focus of cultivation!

"At the end of the day, brothers, thank you Lord Hou for your kindness!"

The school lieutenant looked excited and knelt down on one knee to perform the military salute.

The navy doesn't need the soldiers of the sixteen guards, they are all recruited and paid.

Compared with Fubing, the daily treatment of recruits is better, but the political treatment is not comparable. At least the Fubing does not have all kinds of tax reduction and exemption policies, and the promotion path is relatively slow. It is not an outstanding meritorious service. Can't wait to be promoted.

Of course, although the so-called "honor transfer system" among the soldiers is very rewarding, how can the children of common people have a chance to get their hands on it?Those are all prepared for the children of aristocratic families. No matter how great the credit is, the children of civilians will often be suppressed, and even pretend to be leaders...

In contrast, the favorable treatment of recruits in the navy attracted a large number of poor children.

The generous military salary is eye-catching. It is much better than farming in his hometown. If unfortunately he dies in battle, the pension he will get is an astronomical sum!
Of course, generally speaking, such things as Yin Meng are rare, unless a great sacrifice has been made and great meritorious service has been achieved.

Fang Jun warned: "You have to keep a close eye on the pirates for me. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately. No mistakes are allowed!"

"Here!"

The captain suddenly took the order, then got up and left, continuing to monitor the pirates' movements.

When the captain left, Fang Jun said to Su Dingfang: "Order the whole army to pull out the anchor immediately, prepare the ordnance, and prepare for the battle, and then send people one by one to spread the news that the merchant fleet has been slaughtered by pirates." , as long as there is no change from the pirates later, we will act according to the plan and wipe out these cruel and bloodthirsty pirates!"

"Here!"

Su Dingfang took the order, got up and walked out immediately, and gave orders to the whole army.

The warships gathered here are all the elite of the navy, and the whole fleet was split into two shortly after going to sea, and most of the rest still went north to Goguryeo.

In the dark night, the warships received the signal from the flagship, and all the sailors immediately began to sharpen their knives, repair their spears, mend their sails, and straighten their ropes. Everyone was busy.

Then the inhuman massacre of the pirates spread among the soldiers...

A violent breath permeated among the soldiers. They were also from the Tang Dynasty, so why were they slaughtered like pigs and dogs by pirates?

Anger makes morale climb to the peak in an instant!
On the sea of ​​night, the raging fighting spirit burns!
